I used to test a Java app and as part of that I'd read in the app's properties
because I used a few of them. It's not too hard to write something once you get
comfortable with all of the string parsing methods. I just wrote this:
def read_properties(path)
arr = File.read(path).split("\n")
arr.each do |line|
unless line.strip.index('#') == 0
line.match(/(\S+)\s*=\s*(\S+)/)
if $1 and $2
Object.const_set($1.upcase, $2)
end
end
end
end
But there are plenty of things you can grab off the web. This is a common
problem. Just google ruby read properties for more, probably better solutions.
There are probably areas where the one above will fail.

Subject: Re: [wtr-general] Can't use = sign in URL.
For now, can I forget about the properties file, and have the Watir script put
the url directly in the address bar?
If that is possible I'll need the commands to do so.
I got nowhere with the links you sent.
When I add p properties.getUrl to my script the output is there minus anything
to the right of the left most equal sign.
Turns from this:
http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source=club&aaaclubcode212&state=CA&zipcode=90210
To:
http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source
So it is ignoring all the the right of the equals sign as I expected.
