Hi Ben,
That's very easy to do via Ruby
1. Create file object using the following code
input_file = File.open("data.txt", "r")
2. There are many ways to iterate through the file or read data from the
file depending on what you need to do.
To go through the file line-by-line it would be
input_file.each_line{|line|
line = line.chop()
....
....
....
}
3. Then close the handle when you are done
input_file.close()
Hope that helps.
Steve
