Hello all, I'm new to this site I'm an intern at software company and was given the task of writing a program in ruby that simply could open data files check for a particular field in the text file and compare the intger agains't a mininum value. I seem to be getting a prblem from ruby that says " `[]': no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError)" Ruby doesn't seem to let me give integer values to an array inside a loop. Is there anyway I can static cast or do a type conversion in ruby ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
