From: LenS Date: 2005-08-15T23:06:13+09:00 Subject: Another Newbie question I am running Ruby 1.8.2 on a XP machine. I have several programs (executables) which convert text files to a special file format. I would like to have these programs run from within a ruby script and check the return code. In general how would you call the foo.exe program in ruby and check return code. Thanks Len Sumnler
