Ruby - parsing a text file

Question

I am pretty new to Ruby and have been trying some really basic text parsing. I am now however trying to parse a little bit more of a complicated file and then push it out in

Answer 1

Here's a general idea for you to start with

File.open( thefile ).each do |line|
    print line without the new line if line does not contain  /--+/
    if line contains /--+/
        print line with a new line
    end
end
