End of Yaml

Marc Heiler

Is there a way to have something like this in a yaml file:


foo: bar
__ STOP TREATING IT AS YAML FILE FROM HERE __
\²\²\24²¼ljk
asdjladskasd
some noise is here and there
asdiasdiodas
KJLljkq @@@@j� pqwjpqowj qewopjewqpjewqpjwqp728879241421ü*24242
__ END OF YAML FILE __


In other words, have a file that is a yaml file in the beginning and
then from a keyword or similar, to treat it as a "special" file with
arbitrary data, i.e. no matter if one puts images into it or something?

Comment the lines is an option?

foo: bar
# __ STOP TREATING IT AS YAML FILE FROM HERE __
# \²\²\24²¼ljk
# asdjladskasd
# some noise is here and there
# asdiasdiodas
# KJLljkq @@@@j� pqwjpqowj qewopjewqpjewqpjwqp728879241421ü*24242
# __ END OF YAML FILE __

No, but you can do the opposite:

ruby_code
__END__
yaml

and access that with DATA.read

DATA is only provided for the file immediately executed on the command
line. You read from DATA twice, so the second read is at EOF and returns "".

correction: doesn't work as YOU expected... As said many times before
POLS is relative to Matz, not you or anyone else.

Thank you very much for thread hijacking, but I don't find anything
you're saying relevant to OP's original problem. I've seen you rant
left and right before. I don't think it has a place on #ruby-talk.
