cremul-parser

cremul-parser gem

This is a simple parser for CREMUL payment transaction files written in Ruby. It parses the CREMUL file and creates a Ruby object structure corresponding to the elements in the file.

The parser is currently not a complete parser for all kinds of CREMUl files, but is being developed further as needed in an ongoing project for a Norwegian customer.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cremul-parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cremul-parser

Usage

require 'cremul_parser'

f = File.open(<CREMUL-file>)
parser = CremulParser.new
parser.parse(f)
f.close

or if the file is not utf-8 encoded

f = File.open(<CREMUL-file>)
parser = CremulParser.new
parser.parse(f, <encoding>) # for instance 'ISO-8859-1'
f.close

A file may contain one or more Cremul messages. A Cremul message consists of 'message segments'. Each segment starts with a Cremul keyword. A group of segments make up a logical element of the Cremul message. The overall logical structure of a Cremul file is as follows:

 [ Cremul file ] 1 --- * [ Cremul message ] 1 --- * [ Line ] 1 --- * [ Payment TX ]
