From: James Saunders Date: 2012-05-18T23:04:58+09:00 Subject: New to Ruby Need a little help from the pros. So I've been up reading all night, my eyes are aching.. I've got Hello World! down pretty good, and I can make it repeat a few times.. lol No biggie there though, I've done that in C++ before. However Ruby makes me feel like I can actually do this programming stuff.. If I just knew what the different functions did. I've got an idea for a ¿script? I want written, but I'm not quite sure how to get it done. I can't seem to find a solid list of all the ¿functions? I'll need to be using, so I just keep guessing. I've even tried if/then statements hehe. There's two parts to what I need this ¿script? to do.. Second part doesn't matter if the first part doesn't get on track, so let's deal w/ it first. What I need is.. A 2-6 letter word generating program that will save the words produced to a text file, neatly separated by something like a comma or colon, something Ruby will be able to read at a later date w/o separation issues. I want to start out with double A's and end up with 6x Z's, or as close to that but with full words... On a side note, I found a script on another site someone else was working on towards a similar end.. However it wasn't completed to the specifications that the person wanted, nor I want, and I can't even get the thing to run. That may be because I found it on a mac site and I'm running windows, idk.. I forgot to check n see what OS the OP of that thread was running, maybe someone here can shed some light on this. Tell me if it's a mac script, if not what's going wrong, if so can it be edited to work for windows? Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just telling me what some of the functions mean/do and if they're windows/mac functions. I'm sure anyone who reads this is wondering what I want this sorda program for, so I'll tell you.. It's for a game, I want it to select names on a very old game. 99.95% of the names on this game are taken, and I'm hoping to get lucky and snag a couple decent ones with this program if I can get it running. It's an online game ofc, and the cooler the name you have the cooler you look ^.^ Just wanted ya to know I wasn't tryna make a brute force or any kinda cheat lol Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/7408/Word_Generator_Script.RB -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
