Hi all - I’m new to rails and programming in general.  
I installed Rails 2.3.5, using mac os x 10.5.8, running into problems  
using scaffold. I am using Aptana Radrails as my IDE. I was not  
encountering this problem when using Rails 1.2.6, which is odd because  
from what I can gather online the entry syntax I am using should only  
work with Rails 2.x . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I enter the following:

> script/generate scaffold product \ title:string

Which then yields:

```
  exists app/models/
  exists app/controllers/
  exists app/helpers/
  create app/views/products
  exists app/views/layouts/
  exists test/functional/
  exists test/unit/
  create test/unit/helpers/
  exists public/stylesheets/
  create app/views/products/index.html.erb

```

wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

You don’t want that backslash there (I’m guessing that you copied that  
from a tutorial, where a \ at the end of the line usually indicates  
that the command should be entered on a single line)
