Using Ruby's Gsub With a Block

String#gsub is one of the most used Ruby methods in the wild. Just about every Ruby programmer knows about the method and uses it fairly regularly.

'John Wayne'.gsub('John', 'Bruce')
=> "Bruce Wayne"

Ruby Regexp group matching,

You don't want scan for this, as it makes little sense. You can use String#match which will return a MatchData object, you can then call #captures to return an Array of captures. Something like this:

There are many programs/ruby libraries that can do a the parsing job we need done such as PDFMiner, PoDoFo, Origami, and the PDF-Reader gem, but we have found Xpdf to be a the best choice for our needs to both view and parse out the data from pdf files when your testing includes doing some validation of the contents of generated pdf files. Xpdf is an open source viewer for Adobe “.pdf” files that includes a set of utilities to do just about everything you would want to do to a PDF: extracting the PDF’s info or attachments or images or converting the PDF to a bitmap format, but the utility we are after here is Xpdf’s text
