It creates a ruby file and when i click on the ruby file a cmd window opens up and shows me the first line "Say something, please: " so i write something there and press return and then the cmd window just shuts every time. print "Say something, please: " user_input = gets.chomp print "You said #{user_input} .\n" print "Backwards, it reads #{user_input.reverse} .\n" print "The message is #{user_input.length} characters long.\n" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
