DiamondInvoice

Does some trivial parsing of the email invoice format used by Diamond Comic Distributors.

Adapted from some really old PHP code I wrote really early in my career for Comic Town in Columbus, OH. If you're ever in Columbus and need comics, give them a visit.

gem install diamond_invoice

First, create a new DiamondInvoice and give it your emailed invoice, as a string.

@invoice = DiamondInvoice.new(File.read('path_to_invoice.txt'))

Fetch a list of incoming items as an all-lowercase array.

@invoice.new_titles

# => ["amazing spider-man #62", "animal man #2", ... ]

Got some books you don't want to see in the list? Ignore them like so:

# Ignore any title that contains "adult supplement."
# Case insensitive, matches if the keyword apepars anywhere in the title.
@invoice.excluded_titles << "adult supplement" 

At the moment, it won't do anything magical: no expanding abbreviations or cleaning up shoddy titles, nor will it pull anything else out of the invoice line.
