Using Ruby to read .properties file

ruby-talk
1

None that I know of without writing code - but there isn't much to it.
Try this:

  def load_properties(properties_filename)
    properties = {}
    File.open(properties_filename, 'r') do |properties_file|
      properties_file.read.each_line do |line|
        line.strip!
        if (line[0] != ?# and line[0] != ?=)
          i = line.index('=')
          if (i)
            properties[line[0..i - 1].strip] = line[i + 1..-1].strip
          else
            properties[line] = ''
          end
        end
      end
    end
    properties
  end

Hi

I am working on a project in which I need to read and write the
.properties files. Is there a way to do this in Ruby ... other than
writing code from scratch.
Thanks in advance.

regards
Sanchit
