I got a ruby script which take XML files and create from them CSV. This CSV use semicolons as delimiter -> but, content of XML contains these tags:
- &
- <
- >
And this of course break the structure of CSV file. I need clean it up. This cleaner must be writen in Ruby. I try next code, but this complete destroy the file.
#Clean up CSV file
#Remove: & \< >
file_names = ['terms.csv']
file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
new_contents = text.gsub(/&/, " and ")
# To merely print the contents of the file, use:
puts new_contents
# To write changes to the file, use:
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }
end
file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
new_contents = text.gsub(/</, " < ")
puts new_contents
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }
end
file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
new_contents = text.gsub(/>/, " > ")
puts new_contents
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }
end
I never use Ruby - this is my first contact. Is there better way how to do this?
I solved it... I change CSV delimiter from ";" to "#" in FOR cycle which create a CSV file. It is not ideal solution, but it works.

I'm having a bit of trouble searching through a file and editing certain parameters of the file. The code is below
file_names = ["#{fileNameFromUser}"]
file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
replacedcontent = text.gsub(/textToReplace/, "#{ReplaceWithThis}")
replacedcontent += text.gsub(/textToReplace2/, "#{ReplaceWithThis2}")
# To write changes to the file, use:
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts replacedcontent}
end
so right now what it does is that it print the contents of the file twice and I can only assume its because its inside the do loop. My end goal here is that the file has textToReplace and textToReplace2 and I need it to read through the file, replaced both with whatever the user inputs and save/write changes to the file.
it print the contents of the file twice and I can only assume its because its inside the do loop
Nope, it's because you append it twice:
text = first_replacement_result
text += second_replacement_result
There's two ways to do this: one with mutation:
text.gsub!(...) # first replacement that changes `text`
text.gsub!(...) # second replacement that changes `text` again
or chained replacement:
replacedcontent = text.gsub(...).gsub(...) # two replacements one after another
You will need to re-use replacedcontent instead of concatenating it to avoid printing it twice.
file_names = ["#{fileNameFromUser}"]
file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
replacedcontent = text.gsub(/textToReplace/, "#{ReplaceWithThis}")
replacedcontent = replacedcontent.gsub(/textToReplace2/, "#{ReplaceWithThis2}")
# To write changes to the file, use:
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts replacedcontent}
end
OR
replacedcontent = text.gsub(/textToReplace/, "#{ReplaceWithThis}").gsub(/textToReplace2/, "#{ReplaceWithThis2}")
I made a ruby program to copy content of one CSV file to a new CSV file.
This is my code -
require 'csv'
class CopyFile
def self.create_duplicate_file(file_name)
CSV.open(file_name, "wb") do |output_row|
output_row << CSV.open('input.csv', 'r') { |csv| csv.first }
CSV.foreach('input.csv', headers: true) do |row|
output_row << row
end
end
end
end
puts "Insert duplicate file name"
file_name = gets.chomp
file_name = file_name+".csv"
CopyFile.create_duplicate_file(file_name)
puts "\nDuplicate File Created."
I am opening the input.csv file twice, one to copy headers and then to copy content.
I want to optimise my code. So is there a way to optimise it further?
Just use the cp method:
FileUtils.cp(src, destination, options), no need to reinvent the wheel, like this:
class CopyFile
def self.create_duplicate_file(file_name)
FileUtils.cp('input.csv',file_name)
end
end
or better yet:
file_name = gets.chomp
file_name = file_name+".csv"
FileUtils.cp('input.csv', file_name)
I have a directory structure with sub-directories:
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/cats/
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_B/dogs/
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/tigers/
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/elephants/
each of which has a file that ends with ".sln":
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/cats/cats.sln
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_B/dogs/dogs.sln
...
These files contain information specific to their directory. I would like to do the following:
Create a file "myfile.txt" within each sub-directory, and write some strings to them:
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/cats/myfile.txt
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_B/dogs/myfile.txt
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/tigers/myfile.txt
../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_A/elephants/myfile.txt
Copy a specific string in the ".sln" files to the myfile.txt of certain directories using the following method:
def parse_sln_files
sln_files = Dir["../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_*/**/*.sln"]
sln_files.each do |file_name|
File.open(file_name) do |f|
f.each_line { |line|
if line =~ /C Source files ="..\\/ #"
path = line.scan(/".*.c"/)
puts path
end
}
end
end
end
I would like to do something like this:
def create_myfile
Dir['../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_*/*/'].each do |dir|
File.new File.join(dir, 'myfile.txt'), 'w+'
Dir['../../../../../TEST/TEST_*/*/myfile.txt'].each do |path|
File.open(path,'w+') do |f|
f.puts "some text...."
f.puts "some text..."
f.puts # here I would like to return the result of parse_sln_files
end
end
end
end
Any suggestions on how to express this?
It seems like you want to read list of C file names from a Visual C++ Solution file, and store in a separate file in the same directory. You may have to merge the two loops that you have shown in your code, and do something like this:
def parse_sln_and_store_source_files
sln_files = Dir["../../../../../MY_PROJECT/TEST_*/**/*.sln"]
sln_files.each do |file_name|
#### Lets collect source file names in this array
source_file_names = []
File.open(file_name) do |f|
f.each_line { |line|
if line =~ /C Source files ="..\\/ #"
path = line.scan(/".*.c"/)
############ Add path to array ############
source_file_names << path
end
}
end
#### lets create `myfile.txt` in same dir as that of .sln
test_file = File.expand_path(File.dirname(file_name)) + "/myfile.txt"
File.open(test_file,'w+') do |f|
f.puts "some text...."
f.puts "some text..."
##### Iterate over source file names & write to file
source_file_names.each { |n| f.puts n }
end
end
end
This can be done bit more elegantly with few more refactoring. Also note that this is not tested code, hopefully, you get the gist of what I am suggesting.
I've got a list of devices:
ipc-bei640-r-br-01
ipc-bei640-r-br-02
ipc-bei640-r-br-03
ipc-bei640-r-br-04
ipc-bei640-r-br-05
ipc-bem640-r-br-01
ipc-bem640-r-br-02
ipc-bem640-r-br-03
ipc-crg660-r-br-02
ipc-geb680-r-br-04
ipc-lgv630-r-br-01
This small little ruby script counts the lines of the file braslist.txt scans it with a regex and writes the results to a newfile called "strippedfile.txt"
lines = IO.readlines("/usr/local/bin/braslist.txt")
# Linecount is forwarded to StdOut.
puts lines.length
str = File.read('braslist.txt')
file_name = ['strippedfile.txt']
file_name.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)
new_contents = str.scan(/^ipc-(?<bng>[a-z]{3}\d{3})-r-br(?<nr>-\d{2})$/)
# open and write to a file with ruby
open('strippedfile.txt', 'w') { |f|
f.print new_contents
}
end
Now what i cant seem to fix, is in the new file "strippedfile" the results are always ["bei640", "-01"] ["bei640", "-02"] ["bei640", "-03"]
And i am trying to get all results in this format:
bei640-01
bei640-02
bei640-03
bei640-04
scan returns an array of matches, you probably want to join them:
- new_contents = str.scan(/^ipc-(?<bng>[a-z]{3}\d{3})-r-br(?<nr>-\d{2})$/)
+ new_contents = str.scan(/^ipc-(?<bng>[a-z]{3}\d{3})-r-br(?<nr>-\d{2})$/).map(&:join)
To print everything without quotes and brackets line by line:
- f.print new_contents
+ f.puts new_contents
Assuming your resultant array is
a = [["bei640", "-02"], ["bei640", "-03"]]
You can use join to get your desired result
a.map{|i| i.join } #=> ["bei640-02", "bei640-03"]
or use shortcut as mudasobwa answered
a.map(&:join) #=> ["bei640-02", "bei640-03"]
I am having problems splitting the filepath and just getting the filenames.
Here is my Code:
file=File.new("files.txt", "w")
file_list=Dir["../path/*txt"]
file.puts file_list
I tried a few different ways to split it, but I keep getting an Array Error,
Best Regards,

Please try this snippet:
file = File.new("files.txt", "w")
Dir['../path/*.txt'].each { |f| file.puts File.basename(f, '.txt') }
That give you a list of filenames in specified folder without 'txt' extension.
file=File.new("files.txt", "w")
Dir.entries("/path/to/directory").each do |path|
m = /([^\/]+)\.txt$/.match(path)
file.puts m[1] if m
end
Just map the list of full paths, using basename, yielding the bare filename list.
Assuming you can want to drop extensions:
file = File.new("files.txt", "w")
file_list = Dir["../path/*txt"].map {|f| File.basename f, '.txt'}
file.puts file_list
