Hi all:
I'm looking for help on two things. 1) I'm looking for a way for Ruby to wrap strings in
HTML. I have a program I'm writing that generates a Hash of word frequencies for a text file and I want to take the results and place it into an
HTML file rather than print to STDOUT. I'm thinking each string needs to be wrapped in an
HTML paragraph tag using readlines() or something, but I can't quite figure it out. Then, once I've wrapped the strings in
HTML 2) I want to write to an empty
HTML file.
Right now my program looks like:
filename = File.new(ARGV[0]).read().downcase().scan(/[\w']+/)
frequency = Hash.new(0)
words.each { |word| frequency[word] +=1 }
frequency.sort_by { |x,y| y }.reverse().each{ |w,f| puts "#{f}, #{w}" }
So if we ran a text file through this and received:
35, the
27, of
20, to
16, in
# . . .
I'd want to export to an
HTML file that wraps the lines like:
<p>35, the</p>
<p>27, of</p>
<p>20, to</p>
<p>16, in</p>
# . . .
Thanks for any tips in advance!
