Subject: Re: Counterpart of   LINE   from C++ in Ruby?

Hi All,

This is a great newsgroup.

Thank you all for your responses.  I'm using the code below,  which
works great for my purposes.  I will look into Kernel#caller when I
get a chance.

I have only one minor question:  I wanted to generate a blank line
after my "Line x" line,  so I ended my puts statement with a newline,
but puts acted as it it were superfluous.  I had to add \n\n to get
the blank line.  Bug in Ruby?

--CODE
def foo()
  puts "Subroutine foo at #{caller(0)[0]}"
end

puts "Line #{__LINE__}\n"
foo()
puts "main program at #{caller(0)[0]}"
--END

Regards,
Richard
