Hi, Michael. In [ruby-talk:00372] Store and load "Michael Neumann" <neumann@s-direktnet.de> wrote: > In class IO is the operator << defined, which calls the method "to_s" and send this string to a file or an other device. > My idea is to do the same for reading. So a method "load" should be defined in class Object and ">>" in IO. "to_s" can be implemented arbitrarily. It can return only "" if you wish. Scanning back the string to the object is more complicated. Using Marshal#dump and Marshal#load, you'll be able to define ">>", but it might be too limited to be useful. To wait for matz to include IO.scanf might be another solution. Happy rubying, Akira
