Ruby Regex

Sriram Varahan

Hello,


I am working on extracting some data from a file.
Sample data in the file are as follows:

Case 1: Direction abc,(xyz)
Case 2: Direction fet

I want to extract the content after Direction but before the comma(if
present).
The issue I am facing is that the comma is not always present.

Otherwise a reg exp like:

reg_exp = %r{Direction(.+),}

would have given me the content.
This would not work in the 2nd case.


How to account for both the conditions.
Any help would be appreciated...

When did I deny that I would?

No, because I'm not a Democrat?

No, I leave that to Eric Holder and the Fast and Furious boys.

It's always the religious reich who demand more censorship of TV. But
be a good little fascist and whine that whatever you do is somebody
else's fault.
