Victor,
In ruby, a statement like
#{foo} = 'bar'
just won't work. You are trying to use "dynamic variables" (ala PHP I
guess) and that simply does not work in ruby. Here is a version of your
code that I think does what you are trying to do. I removed the @
sigils on the variable names ... you might need to add them back if you
took this code out of a class you are working on. I also stored the
group arrays in a ruby Hash object keyed by the group name. There are
other ways to do this, the best one depends on your specific needs. You
also had what looked to be a misspelling in the IO.foreach statement:
your version was opening 'inpit.file' not 'input.file'.
# Program
#@myhostname = `hostname` # webserver3
myhostname = 'webserver3'
runcommand = false
command_to_run = nil
#comment# The intent is to create a arrays "was" and "web" and to assign
the values in the group statement
groups = {}
IO.foreach("input.file") do |line|
if line =~ /^#/ || line.chomp.length == 0
next
end # if line
if line.upcase =~ /^GROUP/
grouplit, groupinfo = line.split(".")
groupname, groupentries = groupinfo.split("=")
groups[groupname] = groupentries.split
next
end # if GROUP
targetserver, command_to_run = line.split(" ")
if targetserver == myhostname
runcommand = true
end # if targetserver
#comment# In this case I'm trying to determine if "myhostname" is in the
array "web"
#comment# I've tried a number of ways to get the following to work
without success
end
if groups['web'].include?(myhostname)
####### THIS IS WHERE THE FAILURE IS
runcommand = true
end
puts "groups: #{groups.inspect}"
puts "run command: #{runcommand}, command: #{command_to_run}"
exit
