From: Joel Pearson Date: 2013-05-08T16:58:00+09:00 Subject: Re: Gem Help - Newbie Question I'm writing Ruby code on Windows 7, and I use Notepad++ It does syntax highlighting and with a minor tweak you can set up a shortcut key which will execute the code within the file you're currently editing. The best thing to do with that is usually write out your code in Notepad++ and then copy-paste a line or block at a time into IRB. That approach will make it easier to edit the code, as it can be awkward recovering long lines of code from IRB after writing them in. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
