Subject: How do I pass a variable to the Chroinc library function?

require 'chronic'

puts "Enter the day of the week, and the date will be displayed "

inputday = gets.downcase.chomp!

# User enters
#    monday


nextdate = Chronic.parse('next inputday')


puts "The next", inputday, "is "

puts nextdate

exit

*******************************


I have tried every $, @ , @@ and single quotes and double quote
combinations I can think of. I can use the Time.now with offsets to get
the result I
need
But I am interested in having the 'next inputday' arguments evaluated
before Chronic uses them.  I tried the eval command, but that did not
work.

Any ideas, thanks in advance.

Kindly
