Ruby/Rails text parse into objects -


i'm trying create objects each recurring set in text below (an .srt subtitle file):

1 00:02:12,446 --> 00:02:14,406 hovitos near.  2 00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:18,076 poison still fresh, 3 days.  3 00:02:18,076 --> 00:02:19,744 they're following us. 

for example, take 3 or 4 lines , assign them attributes of new object. first set, have sentence.create(number: 1, time_marker: '00:02:12', content: "the hovitos near.")

start script.each_line, , other general structure might put me on right track? i'm having hard time , fantastic!

edit

some of messy unfinished code have far below. works (i think). have taken totally different route? don't have experience this.

number = nil time_marker = nil content = []  script = script.strip script.each_line |line|   line = line.strip   if line =~ /^\d+$/     number = line.to_i   elsif line =~ /-->/     time_marker = line[0..7]   elsif line =~ /^\b\d/     content << line   else     if content.size > 1       content = content.join("\n")      else       content = content[0]     end      sentence.create(movie: @movie, number: number,        time_marker: time_marker, content: content)     content = []   end end 

here way can it:

file.read('subtitles.srt').split(/^\s*$/).each |entry| # read in entire text , split on empty lines   sentence = entry.strip.split("\n")   number = sentence[0] # first element after empty line 'number'   time_marker =  sentence[1][0..7] # second element 'time_marker'   content = sentence[2..-1].join("\n") # after 'content' end
