Is this from ir.exe or from your hosting code? It looks like you didn't start entirely over. You need to make every reference global and not just subsequent ones. That is,
$say = "I love Ruby" puts $say $say['love'] = "*LOVE*" ...etc. Also, it looks like we happen to be missing that particular overload of String.[]=, so if that's not already in RubyForge, you should file a bug report. :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Hall Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2008 5:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ironruby-core] say['love'] = "*love*" fails Hello, I just wanted to quickly write some Ruby code to see if my hosting worked. Went onto the main ruby site and copied this block of code: # Output "I love Ruby" say = "I love Ruby" puts say # Output "I *LOVE* RUBY" say['love'] = "*love*" puts say.upcase # Output "I *love* Ruby" # five times 5.times { puts say } When I tried this it failed: >>> say['love'] = "*love*" :0:in `Initialize##1': undefined local variable or method `say' for main:Object (NoMethodError) I first thought this might have been because the console doesn't support local variables and have some other problems going on. So I tried this: >>> $say['love'] = "*love*" :0:in `Initialize##11': undefined local variable or method `[]=' for :NilClass ( NoMethodError) Why isn't this working?
