The irb command is only one way to do this but useful for beginners. -----Original Message----- From: Hilary Bailey [mailto:my77elephants@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 17:14 To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: Totally lost in learning Ruby Here is my confusion....take the simplistic case of using an Excel spreadsheet. I will be abel to type, perform math task etc...if I wish to save a document can be accessed from the File-Open menu, then what was saved can nbe executed by playing with some commands. With Ruby/Rails, would the IDE be the source where I would enter scripts?. If this is so, how would I retrieve/execute/display the saved macro/script. Is Vim the tool that will do all of this using Ruby/Rails? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
