Subject: Re: Can you run a command line script with arguments, withou

Doesn't seem to work that way for me. I created a file called args.rb
that looks like this

puts ARGV[0]
#end

This is what I get
>args.rb hello
>nil

>ruby args.rb hello
>hello

I think in the first example ruby is using my arguments for the
interpreter. Any ideas how I can tell ruby to use the arguments for
the script and not the interpreter?
