Hello Folks,

I am trying to learn ruby, so i wrote some simple scripts.
But the following script does not work as expected:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

while gets != nil
  print $_
end

if i call 'echo.rb' (without any parameters) from my cygwin shell, the 
scripts does what i expect it to do. It reads and returns the input.
But if i call it with any parameters, like

  echo.rb anything

i get a error message saying : '... `gets': No such file or directory - 
12 (Errno::ENOENT)...'

Does anybody understand this ?

Thanx
Joe
