Well, I think I found the answer to your question. You downloaded the Standard library, which does not contain String. You need to download the Core library from this location: http://www.ruby-doc.org/downloads/ Then under the words, "The 1.8.6 Base Distribution RDoc HTML" click on the "tgz file" link. That will give you the core library for viewing locally. In there, you can search by class and find String. Jason -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
