ARGF almost doing what I want with MAIL

ruby-talk
1

People,

I have this script (tmail.rb):

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'mail.rb'

mail = Mail.read( ARGF.filename )
p mail.attachments[0].filename

I have a text file that is an email with base64 encoded attachment and if I do this:

   tmail.rb email.txt

- the script runs correctly with no errors but if I do this:

   cat email.txt | temail.rb

I get:

/usr/share/gems/gems/mail-2.6.3/lib/mail/mail.rb:176:in `initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - - (Errno::ENOENT)
  from /usr/share/gems/gems/mail-2.6.3/lib/mail/mail.rb:176:in `open'
  from /usr/share/gems/gems/mail-2.6.3/lib/mail/mail.rb:176:in `read'
  from ./t010_1.rb:5:in `<main>'

ie "-" is not recognised as a legitimate file name - is there a way of (simply) doing what I want with pipes ie STDIN?

Thanks,

Phil.

I think you should change this line to:

mail = Mail.read( ARGF.read )
