Do you know if there is a way to get the Windows OS Login name using
Ruby? I can do this with VB but haven't found a way to do this in Ruby.
Thanks

May not be pretty, but you can always do
username=%x[echo %USERNAME%].strip
A decent sized list of windows environmental variables is here:

That said I think there _is_ s nice builtin way of accessing windows
environmental variables in ruby, but it's been so long I'd probably
just shell out using %x

I don't know of a way. You could look at the Ruby on Windows blog [
http://rubyonwindows.blogspot.com/ ] or search Google while waiting for
others to reply.

require 'etc'
p Etc.getlogin
# OR
gem install sys-admin
require 'sys/admin'
p Sys::Admin.get_login

ENV['USERNAME']
Was that so hard? Or does that not work on Windows?
