Re: Ruby Quiz is Back - Challenge #1 - Read Comma-Separated Values (CSV) from the "Real World"

Dear Quizmaster,

Are there general guidelines like for the first Ruby Quiz (
http://rubyquiz.com/)?

Anyway, here is my brief entry.

#
# A simple solution using core String and Regexp features.
#
def parse( txt )
  txt.each_line.map do |line|
    next if line =~ /^#/ || line =~ /^\s+$/
    line.strip.split(/\s*,\s*/, -1).map do |field|
      field.sub(/^(['"])(.*)\1$/, '\\2')
    end
  end.compact
end

Cheers,
Dave
