From: "T.J. L." Date: 2012-01-20T02:13:09+09:00 Subject: Beginner Questions I'm hoping someone can give me a hand. I've having trouble recalling information I've sent to a YAML file. I'm able to load the entire document, but I'd like to just pull up one section of it (the $totaltime global variable). My showDB pulls up fine, but the $totaltime always resets to 0. I know I have $totaltime = 0 but I'm not sure how to make $totaltime = $totaltime.to_yaml...if that make sense. If any clarification is needed please let me know. Here is a link to what I have: http://codepad.org/mx5Qheyr I'd really appreciate any guidance someone can offer. Thanks!! -T.J. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
