Read a ruby script like you would read a text file

Do you know if this is possible:
I want to read each ruby script in a directory (btw there a hundreds of
them) and then use that info to lable and make reports later. For now, I
just want to know if there is a possiblity to do this.

Each script contains an intialized setting that I can use to distinguish
the difference in my file standards. Later, I am going to create a
report based on what is available. Any suggestions for the below code?
Thanks, MC

Dir.entries("C:/ScriptDirectory").each do |filename|
  if File.extname(filename) == ".rb" then #read a ruby file
    File.open(filename, 'r') do |f1|
      f1.each_line |line|
       @fileStandard1 << filename if line =~ /setting343234/
       puts "Stardard1" +@fileStandard1
       @fileStandard2 << filename if line =~ /setting343999/
       puts "Standard2" +@fileStandard2
       @fileStandard3 << filename if line =~ /setting343245/
       puts "Standard3" +@fileStandard3
    end
    end
end

##this code is a snippet I am going to use the new variables later in
the program.

What do you mean by "read"? Do you want to execute the Ruby code in those scripts?

There seems to be a bit of redundant code. How about

@file_standards = {
   343234 => ,
   343999 => ,
   343245 => ,
}

Dir["C:/ScriptDirectory/*.rb"].each do |file|
   File.foreach file do |line|
     num = line[/settings(\d+)/, 1].to_i
     std = @file_standards[num] and std << file
   end
end

Cheers

Thanks Robert,

Yes, I didn't want to run the scripts only read through them and
categorize them. This really did the trick. Pretty fancy and efficient
too! :slight_smile:

Thanks, MC
