(=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Une_b=E9vue?=) Date: 2006-11-25T16:40:06+09:00 Subject: syntax error something strange, if i run my script like that : $ /opt/local/bin/ruby myscript.rb no prob the shebang in my script is : #!/usr/bin/env ruby -w which ruby give me the above ruby (under /opt) then, running this script as : $ ./myscript.rb i get an error on line 8 : ./wav2xml.rb: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./wav2xml.rb: line 8: ` fxml=file.gsub(/(.*)\.wav/,'\1.xml')' the major difference is upon the "-w" option within the shebang however, if i delete this option i do have the same error. sometimes an error given at one line comes from the preceeding one : file=RGV[0] # line 7 for me the syntax is correct ??? -- une b�vue
