Subject: Re: Newbie: working with a text file and converting to xml

Hi Peter,

I saved your code and called it convert.rb. I ran it (replacing 
'filename' with the path of my text file - was that right to do?)

i got this error:
convert.rb:1: unknown regexp options - atal

any ideas?

also, do you know if thereis any way to run a script from the 
commandline like?:
./convert.rb mytextfile.txt
i made a shell script that used this kind of thing - it took the input 
file as something like $ARGV (i think - sorry i'm a super newbie!!)
make sense?

Thanks Peter!

Adam
