How to retrieve Shading Summary Report in Ruby?

Hello, this is my first time here.

I would like to know if there is a way to retrieve the sunlit fraction data from the Shading Summary report that is created after an annual EnergyPlus simulation.

More specifically, I am writing a script for evaluating solar gain in each exterior subsurface object, what I would like to do is to obtain the average sunlit fraction for each object.

I am assuming that there must be a way to retrieve the data in the shading summary report and somehow obtain the averages for each exterior subsurface.

Does anybody know how to do this?
