Thanks Yeah this does suck, unfortunately I dont know how to run a rake task yet, this would be a great time to learn how to, also this is a rails project so I know it could be a bit harder using Scite as opposed to using an Ide like Netbeans. I do need to start getting more familiar with the command prompt, so using Scite would be a good experience. I can build a rails project with Scite right? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
