Complete newbie problem with jedit+Ruby
Submitted by on Sunday, 4 September, 2011 - 03:22
Hi everyone.
I'm completely new to jedit, ruby and programming in general.
Was trying to execute a simple bit of code in jedit:
puts 'Hallo'
puts "Hello there, and what\'s your name?"
name = gets.chomp
puts 'Your name is ' + name + '? What a lovely name!'
puts 'Pleased to meet you, ' + name + '. :)'
When I run it, it gives a blank prompt without printing the initial "Hallo" and 2nd line puts. If I execute it in Komodo I get the same problem.
If I run it in terminal, however, it works fine.
I have the ruby console plug-in.
Also - I cannot figure out how to get the console to use ruby 1.9.2 instead of 1.8.7. I did manage to upgrade terminal ruby version.
I would greatly appreciate any help! Please remember that I'm not so savvy, you know, if you could limit yourself to simpleton-speak, I'd be much obliged.
