From: David Corbin Date: 2002-03-10T11:59:07+09:00 Subject: Confusion The following is from my debugging through xmlc.rb Breakpoint 1, dump_element at xmlc.rb:94 xmlc.rb:94: children.push ch unless (ch == "" || ch == nil) (rdb:1) p ch "\"\n\"" (rdb:1) p children [] (rdb:1) s xmlc.rb:94: `undefined method `to_str' for nil' (NameError) How is 'nil' trying to do a to_str? Thanks David
