This codes run mighty fine on my win2k, 1.8.1 build. Does the error occur
when you run the script period or when you type something in after the
script is run? Also, what build and on what system are you running this on?

Hi I'm trying to run this code:
   	while (line = gets)
   	  puts "The given line is #{line}"
   	  if line =~ /^eval:(.*)$/
   	    puts "#$1 # => #{eval $1}"
   	  end
  	end

That I found on a tutorial website.  Ruby gives me this error when I try to
run it:
>ruby guessnumber.rb
higuessnumber.rb:4:in `gets': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
	from guessnumber.rb:4
>Exit code: 1

Why is this happening?
