Hi,
I’m trying to demo how Ruby handles various argument formats.
For example, I write the statement:
show %@ruby DisplayArgs.rb Arg1 Arg2
@
and I get the output:
ruby DisplayArgs.rb Arg1 Arg2
=>
Arg[1]: “Arg1”
Arg[2]: “Arg2”
I’d like avoid having the back-ticks appear in the output. I’d like to
achieve this by moving the back-ticks from show invocation to show’s
definition. In the following code, comments indicate what I tried, but
it failed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Richard
ShowCmdLineArgs.rb
def show(stmt)
print stmt
puts "\n=> "
eval("puts " + stmt).inspect # Put
back-ticks around “stmt”?
puts
end
puts “\n========= Examples =========”
show %@ruby DisplayArgs.rb Arg1 Arg2
@
show %@ruby DisplayArgs.rb "Embedded "" quotes"
@ # Remove back-ticks
from this?
DisplayArgs.rb
MAXARGS = 10
puts “No arguments” unless ARGV[0]
(0…MAXARGS).each { |i|
break unless ARGV[i]
print "Arg[#{(i+1).to_s}]: "
puts ARGV[i].inspect
puts “Quitting without inspecting addition arguments,
if any!” if i == MAXARGS-1
}
