Subject: Re: Is possible to return after exec cmd?

fr ollin:

# why doesn't work command 5.times{exec "pwd"} like this 5.times{puts 
# "Hello"} ?

since that is exec's feature. exec replaces current process.

maybe you want system or `

irb(main):004:0> `echo am still here `
=> "am still here\n"
irb(main):005:0> system "echo am still here"
am still here
=> true
