MovableTypeFormat::Parser.parse parses String or IO, and returns Enumerator of MovableTypeFormat::Entry.
exported = File.read("exported.txt")
entries = MovableTypeFormat::Parser.parse(exported)
MovableTypeFormat::Entry has sections. Sections are collection of MovableTypeFormat::Section::Base (or its descendant).
entry = entries.to_a[0]
pp entry.sections
# [#<MovableTypeFormat::Section::Metadata:0x007fc3f39b2238
# @body=nil,
# @fields=
# [#<MovableTypeFormat::Field:0x007fc3f39b1f18
# @key="TITLE",
# @value="A dummy title">,
# ...
MovableTypeFormat::Section::Base has name, fields, and body. Field has key and value.
comment = entry.sections.find{|s| s.name == "COMMENT" }
comment.name #=> "COMMENT"
comment.fields
# [#<MovableTypeFormat::Field:0x007fc3f39a32d8 @key="AUTHOR", @value="Foo">,
# #<MovableTypeFormat::Field:0x007fc3f39a3120
