You may look at String#include, and depending on your use case,
maybe File#open and/or Tempfile#new.

Simple ruby example program that come to mind:


$ cat filter.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

pattern = ARGV.shift

ARGF.each_line { |e| puts e unless e.include? pattern }

$ cat text.txt
resources :albums, except: [:new, :edit, :destroy]
resources :conversation_replies, except: [:new, :edit, :destroy]
resources :authors, except: [:new, :edit, :destroy]

$ ./filter.rb conversation_replies text.txt
resources :albums, except: [:new, :edit, :destroy]
resources :authors, except: [:new, :edit, :destroy]
