Hello,

Is it possible in ruby to generate during runtime in case of an error a  
log  
file containing the name of the file, the line number and the line of  
the  
code? If so how, or where to find information about it?

Thanks,  
Bernd

Well, you could wrap your whole code in:

begin

# your code goes here…

rescue Exception =\> error

# write out to a file here, using method of error for info…

end

ruby -d prints out every exception raised.
