Hi!

This should be quite easy but I can’t for the life of me find a
solution.

I have the following form:

Url to examine:

As you see the action taken when the button is pressed involves a ruby
file “Main.rb”.

The Apache-server has no problem interpreting the file. The problem is
how do I pass along the text written in the textfield.

I’m guessing I need to retrieve the text in Main.rb I’ve failed
miserably at that.

Main.rb contains only:

ARGV.each do|a|
puts “#{a}”;
end

But the only time it writes out anything is when I manually send
Main.rb?some_parameter. Then the printout will be “some_parameter”.

Summary:
How do I retrieve the text from the text field in Ruby?

Thanks in advance
…And sorry if this already has been answered. I did searched.

This is the Ruby mailing list, not the Rails one. Rails may be written
in Ruby, but they have their own forum:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/rails

You’re likely to get more answers there.

Except this isn’t a rails question at all.

Ivan: you may want to look into the CGI module, which should abstract
most of this stuff away and make it easier to do what you’re trying to
do.
