Additionally, I have bash scripts to download and parse currency and weather information, which all gets stored as YAML for ease of use. <br /> <br />This is how I parse the YAML into my applications: <br /> <br /><code>require 'yaml' <br /> <br />class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base <br /> before_filter :configure_app <br /> <br /> # Your code here... <br /> <br /> def configure_app <br /> @config = YAML::load(File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/config.yml")) <br /> end <br />end <br /></code> Sun, 15 May 2005 11:20:22 GMT http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/287 darryl_ring (Darryl A.
