Hello
Is this correct

class Horse
end

class Horses <Horse

def noh
 print 'noh:'
  noh = gets.chomp    
    [noh]
  end
end

Looks right, best thing to do it try :)

with the [noh] part you can use that anyway you need to..

def noh
   print 'noh'
   noh = gets.chomp
   new = Horse.new
   now.noh = noh
end

Hope this helps

Hello - still struggling
If I run the following example from within Scite it works fine and my output is as expected 1 & 2
The code.........

class Phil
end

class Phil2 <Phil
def noh
[1,2,3,4,5]
end
 
def odds
[10,2,0,0,0]
end  
end

a = Phil2.new
lessthanoneh1 = a.noh[0]
lessthanoneh2 = a.noh[1]
puts lessthanoneh1
puts lessthanoneh2

However - I still want to be able to enter data into my array by using gets.chomp and send results to a file.
Below is the code useing gets.chomp  - when I run the file the prompt asks for data and I put in
1,2
but instead of getting 1 & 2  - I get 1 & nil
The code using gets.chomp..........

class Phil
end

class Phil2 <Phil
def noh    
print "Enter your name: "
noh = gets.chomp.to_i
[noh]
end
end

a = Phil2.new
b = a.noh[0]
c = a.noh[1]

myfile = File.new("c:/horses.txt","a")
myfile.puts b
myfile.puts c

OK I've played about with the code you gave me and think I got it working the way you want it..

It looked like the "[noh]" bit

Hope this helps/works how you want it!

Andrew

class Phil
end
 
class Phil2 <Phil
def noh    
print "Enter your name: "
noh = gets.chomp.to_i
end
end
 
a = Phil2.new
b = a.noh[0]
c = a.noh[0]
 
myfile = File.new("c:/horses.txt","a")
myfile.puts b
myfile.puts c

Still not getting 1 & 2
Question when running file from cmd line - I enter 1 from first prompt and 2 from second prompt but in my file it shows 1 & 0
I then added another line e.g.
d = a.noh
then ..
myfile.puts d
Run the file again and as expected 3 prompts  - entered 1 then 2 then 3 and output to file was 1,0,1
Hmm?
Could this be a Windows thing?

Hmm it is odd.. its possible its windows being an bum, I have to run Linux at work now because windows and rails development don't mix :(

If you have a Linux box to test, would be worth a try?!

Andrew

I'm currently playing with rails - early days! - so you wouldn't recommend running rails from within Windows?
Phil

I personally wouldn't and almost everyone I work with would say the same.

Windows just seems to mess so many ruby things up, and getting gems to work.. GOSH!

I would highly recommend that you develop on a Linux or Unix box.. from personal experience.

Andrew

I must admit I have had lots of problems with
 gems with Windows
