(Todd Holloway) #1

I’m just about to finish up my first ruby program, but I’m
stuck on one last part…I need equivlent of the below in ruby:

grep -v "^[[:space:]]#" filename | grep -v '^[[:space:]]$’

done.

grep -v "^[[:space:]]#" filename | grep -v '^[[:space:]]$’

thanks in advance! I will send out final program once it’s

$ cat <<-EOT >foo.rb
filename = ARGV[0]

this is a test

File.open(filename) {
>file>
# some more test
file.each_line {
>line> # this shouldn’t get removed
next if line =~ /^\s*#/
next if line =~ /^\s*$/
puts line
}
}
EOT

$ ruby foo.rb foo.rb
filename = ARGV[0]
File.open(filename) {
>file>
file.each_line {
>line> # this shouldn’t get removed
next if line =~ /^\s*#/
next if line =~ /^\s*$/
puts line
}
}

$

That help?

[snipped]

ruby -lne ‘print unless /\s*#/ or !/\S/’ filename

Of course i forgot a carat; it should be “/^\s*#/”, as dblack pointed
out in #ruby-lang.

I’m golfing with the champ!

…right into a sand trap :(.

Except matz wins because the oringal poster wants it as part of a
ruby program _not_ a one liner ruby program :slight_smile:
