I've just started to teach myself Ruby and writing some very simple programs using the get command. Unfortunately each time I execute the program in Scite the command line interface pops up but unfortunately I can't enter any text or numbers?? Any idea why this is happining? The program I executing is below. # Converts Celsius to Fahrenheit puts "Enter a temperature in Celsius:" cel = gets.to_f #user types a number fahr = (1.8 * cel) +32 #convert it puts "that's #{fahr} degrees Fahrenheit" Many thanks Ben -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
