EOS must be the ONLY thing on the line - it's not allowed to have
trailing whitespace.

It appears you've got about 10 whitespace characters after EOS.

Subject: How do I use heredocs

Hi,

I have a simple test program.

====================
class QuickTest
    
    def testMe
        str = <<EOS
         Some Application data
EOS            
        puts str
    end    
  
end

if $0 == __FILE__ then

    $test = QuickTest.new
    $test.testMe
end
===========================

I got this error and could not figure out what's wrong?

==============================================
QuickTest.rb:21: can't find string "EOS" anywhere before EOF
QuickTest.rb:6: syntax error
===============================================

Can someone help?

I am running Ruby 1.8 on Windows XP


Thanks
