Thanks a lot for that trick, Reid ! :)

But this only write the buffer, start ruby, exute that file with ruby
with ridirected output to another file and reads back that file into
vim. Additionally it does not check, whether both files already
exist...thex will be overwritten simply.

I wanted to exeute ruby with the buffer contents without writing to
the disk at all for that reason.

Is this possible ?

Ruby!
