Searched Files -- Now Display in UI

Ruby
1

Hi All:

I made a small simple program to search for regular expressions
interactively in inputted particular directory and its sub-
directories.

Its a simple short program in Ruby (one of my Initial ones).

I direct my output to a log file in the format I want to.

Now that I have an Output of Files, I want a UI for this, so that the
listed files are displayed right there in a UI Frame that I can click
directly to open. I don’t want to get the path from my log file and
then open it.

  1. To me, I would guess this would need a UI Library. Which one to
    use?
  2. Can we do this with the File Listed there in the UI frame and I can
    directly open the file from there?
  3. Platform currently being focussed on: Windows XP. If the UI is
    portable,I guess it would work under Linux also?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Tk is the most portable one (although it is ugly).

Any pointers where I can read about this.
Is there a cleaner library than Tk?
Like Swing in Java.
