Bill,

Thanks for the reply!

while(line = gets)
  p line
end

I'm getting:
C:\tmp>2.rb < "data.dat"
C:\tmp\2.rb:1:in `gets': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
        from C:\tmp\2.rb:1

Using Win2K.   :-(

Hi, From: <christopher.j.meisenzahl@citicorp.com> > > What's the best Ruby 
idiom for reading data from a data file one line at a time > so that I could 
run the program with something like: > my_app.rb < data.txt A way to read lines 
from STDIN is: while(line = gets) # do something with line end Or, to read 
lines from a particular file by name: IO.foreach("data.txt") do |line| # do 
something with line end Hope this helps, Bill
