From: stephanie borg Date: 2011-03-17T11:58:16+09:00 Subject: taking content from arrays to open a .3ds file This is part of my program. what it is intented to do is get the first line of a txt file which is saved in a[0]. this will be the name of a .3ds model which than has to be imported in sketchup, but to do so, .3ds has to be added to the name. Something is wrong with my code I know it's something in the first line show but I can't figure how to write it correctly. machine = "a[0].3ds" model = Sketchup.active_model show_summary = true status = model.import machine, show_summary Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
