Ruby string manipulation: struct, split, join

Every time I write ruby it seems like I have to re-learn everything. To shortcut the process for next time here is a snippet that demonstrates some string handling by parsing the output of lsof (OS X format). Ruby structs are the equivalent of python namedtuple, very handy for splitting up strings in a sane way.

def parse_lsof(lsof_out)
  net_listener = Struct.new(:command, :pid, :user, :fd, :type, :device, :size, :node, :name, :status)
  output = []

  # strip header line
  lsof_lines = lsof_out.split("\n")[1..-1]

  lsof_lines.each {
    |line|

    line_array = line.split("\s")
    listener_o = net_listener.new(*line_array)
    output.push("#{listener_o.command},#{listener_o.user},#{listener_o.type},#{listener_o.node},#{listener_o.name}")
  }
  return output.join("    ")
end
