On the second page of the article, the author converts the elements of the array named extract_args (or remove_args) from Strings to Integerss. You can do it in a Rubier way with the Array#collect method, like:

when '--extract'
extract_f = true
begin
extract_args = arg.split(',').collect { |column| column.to_i }
rescue
# ...
And you can do the same with the when '--remove' clause of the switch.
