Hiya folks.

Just wondering if anybody knows how to pipe a ruby string to bbedit. Once
in a while I'd like to send the output of a ruby script to bbedit.
Obviously this would open in an untitled text file, unsaved. I have the
bbedit command line tools installed, and I pipe other stuff to bbedit.
 Great tools actually.

I'm currently trying this:

system ('echo "#{ puts h }" | bbedit')

Result:

#{ puts h }

So I reversed the quotations:

system ("echo '#{ puts h }' | bbedit")


...which outputs nothing.

So backticks:

`echo '#{ puts h }' | bbedit`


Also results in nothing.  Tried double quotations, nothing.

Without creating a temp file and some fancy workaround in the
filesystem/bash, is this possible?  Any insight appreciated.

Cheers
