Great! I am so excited and I can???t wait to learn Ruby. The problem is that any single Ruby quick start code that I saw does some AJAX web application :( What I need to do with Ruby is text file processing, file manipulations, and query oracle database. Is there any tutorial for command line application developers? Is it easy to query Oracle 10g with Ruby? Where can download RedHat and Windows version of Ruby? Sorry for asking so many question in one post! I appreciate your help, Alan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
