1) Your code produces an error in all versions of Ruby. 2) Never use irb like interfaces in any programming language, and you will avoid a lot of confusion and you will never lose your work and you won't have to retype anything. Instead open up a test program and run your code from the command line. 3) What does puts "hello world" return for you? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
