Subject: [ruby-talk:00120] finished simple script

Greetings,

If anyone is interested, here is the finished script (which was created to
work _exactly_ as a c++ tutorial program I made ages ago ;-)


#!/usr/bin/env/ruby
print "Input two numbers to multiply together: \n"
ans1, ans2 = STDIN.gets.chomp.scan(/\d+/).collect { |x| x.to_i }

while !ans1
	if !ans1
		ans1, ans2 = STDIN.gets.to_i, STDIN.gets.to_i
	end
end
while !ans2
	if !ans2
		ans2 = STDIN.gets.to_i
	end
end



curiously, ``.'' is translated to an integer as ``32''


cya,
