Hi

 

You might find this useful:

 

class MissingConfigurationFile < ArgumentError ; end

 

class MyConfig

 

    MyConfig = Struct.new("MyConfig", :property, :value)

 

    def initialize(config_file)

        begin

            @config = File.readlines(config_file)

        rescue

            raise MissingConfigurationFile, "Can't find config file"

        end

    end

 

    def parse_config_file

        rem_array = []

        prop_array = []

        @config.each do |line|

            if line.match(/^#/)

                rem_array << line

            else

                unless line.match(/^\n$/) then prop_array << line.chomp end

            end

        end

        return prop_array - rem_array

    end

 

    def properties

        config_hash = {}

        parse_config_file.each do |data|

            split = data.split("=")

            property = split[0].gsub(/\s*/, "")

            value = split[1].gsub(/$\s*/, "").gsub(/^\s*/, "")

            config_hash.store(property,MyConfig.new(property, value))

        end

        return config_hash

    end

           

end

 

myConfig = MyConfig.new(“config.txt”).properties

config_option_name = myConfig[‘OPTION_NAME].property

config_option_value = myConfig[‘OPTION_NAME’].value

 

config.txt

 

# Lines with a # are ignored

OPTION_NAME = put some value here

OPTION_2 = more options

 

Hope it’s useful

 

Thanks

 

Kingsley

Subject: [Wtr-general] Key / value pairs.

Hello all,

I'm new to Watirr (and Ruby), so forgive me if the question is rather simplistic...

What I'd like to do, is to have a configuration file (eg. config.txt), which would have a number of key/value pairs, such as "UserName=user", which would be read by a test script to, for example, log into a page. Hence, what I need, is a method to read each line in a given file; strip off the comments (if exist; denoted by #); find the pair based on the key (ie. UserName) and get the value (ie. user) and store it in a variable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Leon
