From: Mike Halloran Date: 2007-07-24T07:32:16+09:00 Subject: Newbie Question: irb How can I access the previous result of an evaluation in the irb debugger. For example: >> 1 + 2 3 <-- I want to access this result >> 5 + {some expression which is '3'} 8 ================= In lisp it would be: >>(+ 1 2) 3 >> (+ 5 *) <-- use a star to grab one result back 8 >> (+ 5 **) <-- use a double start to grab two results back 8 Anyway, thanks in advance for the help, Mike -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
