I'm new to RUBY, but am familar with other scripting languages, PHP, Perl, Wscript, etc. I'd like to be able to run items from the shell such as ls -l > dirlisting.txt. Just an example. Can I do this? I would have just used the search on these forums, but unfortuantely when I click Search I get "The page cannot be found". Hope they can get this fixed so I won't have to ask every little question. Thanks in advance. -Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
