I am trying to get input from the user and then trying to compare that string to perform action depending on the comparision result: Here is the code while command = STDIN.gets command.chomp print #{command} if command == "add" addnums(num1,num2) break else print"not correct command" end end When I run this code and enter add it is giving output : Not the right command. Was expecting method addnums be called. because command is add which is a string and if statement to evaluate to be true. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
