From: Michael Linfield Date: 2007-10-27T10:46:26+09:00 Subject: Re: cant seem to get system() & pipe to work together Alright lets start this program over and build up from the basics using a gem. require 'rubygems' require 'r2mp3' print "File Path: " path = gets.chomp Converter.new(:convert=>:wma,:file=>"#{path}"){|f| f.to_mp3 } ########## Keep in mind you will have to install the r2mp3 gem via command line - gem install r2mp3 This SHOULD work, i dont have any resources in front of me right now so i cant double check, but let me know if you need any additions to the code above. - Mac -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
