Reading a number of files and and searching for text

[Paul Donaghy]

Hi Guys,

I have a number of results files inside a /results folder such as

/results/results1.txt
/results/results2.txt
...
... and so on.

Inside each of these files are messages either
This feature Passed
This feature Failed

What I want to do is read all of these files /results/results* and pick
out the messages that say FAILED and store them in a variable or
whatever so I can print them to screen.

Any you guys any bright "easy" ideas?

Help much appreciated.Thanks.

If really that's all you want to do then I'd just use grep rather than
Ruby:

grep FAILED results/*.txt

Dir.glob('/results/results*.txt') do |fname|
IO.foreach(fname) do |line|
if line.include?("Passed")
puts line
end
end
