Hello Group,
ruby version: ruby 1.9.1p243
I get the following error when I try creating a new instance of
blowfish.
irb(main):001:0> require ‘crypt/blowfish’
=> true
irb(main):002:0> blowfish = Crypt::Blowfish.new(“key”)
TypeError: can’t convert String into Integer

The problem seems to be on the code presented below:
46: 4.times {
47: data = ((data << 8) | @key[keypos]) % ULONG
48: keypos = (keypos.next) % @key.length
49: }
data = 0
@key = “key”
keypos = 0
ULONG = 0x100000000
On line 47, data <<8 is an integer and @key[keypos]) % ULONG is a
string.
This is probably the causing ‘can’t convert String into Integer’ error.
I have very limited programing knowledge and I do not know the best way
to fix this code.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
