Hi,
I try to read in an external file to array and compare them to the drop
down list in our application. I got into the problem when comparing, the
extra double quotes make the assertion result failed. Can anyone help me
to make it work?
Thanks for your help,
ps . I posted this question on Nabble but it is pending without reason
so I try to post it here hope it can go to the list users...

************************
Below is the code:
------------
arr = IO.readlines("dropList.csv") # read entire contents of the file
into a single array. Each index of the array is one line.
assert_equal([arr[0]], $ie.frame("top").select_list(:name,
"site_id").getAllContents)
------------------
This is the csv external file dropList.csv contain:
:: Select Site ::
!!Eastgate_Mall
-----------------------------
1) Failure:
test__02_DropDown_list_verified(TC_pulldownBoxVerified)
[DropVerified_test.rb:45]:
<[":: Select Site ::,!!Eastgate_Mall,\n"]> expected but was
<[":: Select Site ::", "!!Eastgate_Mall"]>.
Hi
I am a newbie to this mailing list.
I have a couple of queries:
1. Can methods be part of an array definition, which can bear similarity
to 'C' definitions
of "array of function pointers", as part of a state machine
implementation.
2. How can we make C routine call a "method" defined in a ruby script as
we do it the other way while extending ruby call C routines
Regards,
Saumya.
A couple of options:
1) If your external file is truly CSV (comma-separated values) use a CSV
parser to parse it. Though, from your example, it doesn't seem to be
the case... here's some code anyway.
.....
require 'csv'
rows =
CSV.open('dropList.csv', 'r') do |row|
rows << row
end
.....
Then compare the parsed rows against your dropdown array.
2) Write your own assertion:
.....
def assert_equal_without_quotes(a,b)
assert_equal a.gsub(/['"]/, ''), b.gsub(/['"]/, '')
end
.....
Untested, but that might work

Look up Object#method and Method in the docs:
you can do ['aaa'.method(:size), 10.method("+")]
UnboundMethod could be useful as well.
Other than that, its possible to call methods by name. I you just need
to call methods on one object, it is enough to store just their names
(preferably as symbols):
methods = [:size, :length, :whatever]
then you would for example do: methods.each {|m| 'aaaa'.send(m) }

Another approach would be to use Procs in the array instead of
methods, this would allow you to store arguments in the array entries
as well, and to execute more than just a method.
actions = [
lambda {obj.size},
lambda {obj.length},
lambda {obj.foo(3, "abc") }
lambda {puts "Hi Mom!"; obj.callhome }
]
then to invoke an action it's just
actions[n].call
as a variation on this, if the blocks have parameters, you can use
call(arg1, [arg2,...]) to pass parameters.

Thanks
Making it a proc really helped.
I have few more problems
How can we make C routine call a "method" defined in a ruby script ?
I am familiar with extending ruby to call C routines with/without swig.
But I was not able to find a easy solution for it. The only way it may
workout is
spawning the script in a different process/thread from C code and then
make it do all query/answer sequence by calling a C routine. Is there a
easy way out?
Can't we make a C routine call a specific method in a Ruby Script.
Can we access a C stack from Ruby or vice versa while debugging the
Ruby extension.
Regards,
Saumya.
