Subject: Re: Problem assigning an Array object to an Array-subclass object

Hi Dick,

Gotcha!  Applying your ideas, modified slightly I believe,  I tested:

# F:\_Projects_Current\_Projects_Ruby\P001f-Arrays#3\MyArr3.rb

a = []
b = []

a = %w( foo bar ack)
b = %w(eeny meeny miney mo)
puts "Before override: a = #{a.to_s}, b = #{b.to_s}"

class Array
   def to_s
     join("; ")
   end
 end

a = %w( foo bar ack)
b = %w(eeny meeny miney mo)
puts "After override: a = #{a.to_s}, b = #{b.to_s}"

####### Got results:

>ruby MyArr3.rb Arg1 Arg2
Before override: a = foobarack, b = eenymeenymineymo
After override: a = foo; bar; ack, b = eeny; meeny; miney; mo
>Exit code: 0

#####

Neat stuff!

Thanks,
Richard
