They got line-wrapped by the extraneous stuff; these should work better.

I get "Pythong Programming Language" as #1, "Java Technology" #2 and

"Ruby Home Page" shows up as the first link for this query

Did Ruby show up first in all cases for you?

That is nice. Now, to cement this, we should all put a link on our web site:

<a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">Best programming language</a>

Each time I recommend Ruby to another programmer, and
point them to a few web pages they see things like
that. Then they tell me the Ruby programmers and I are
full of ourselves. I really wouldn't want to put that
on a website Even though Ruby *is* the best
programming language. /me runs from the angry Python
mob.

They are just jealous.
They've never before been *proud* of the language they use.
Programming in Ruby, its like living in a country that one
can feel patriotic for. Still I didn't find such a country.
Frankly, I doubt such a country could exist for me.
On the other hand.. Ruby does.

I'm so very glad that Ruby fills in for this lost land.

Well you have to pity them becuase they are usually
people who know only *that* language. It is really sad

I try to sway them with kind words, and ask them they
try Ruby. If that doesn't work. I use the

"Programming in Ruby will get you Japanese chicks and
cuties" line.

Japanese or Nippon, whichever I feel at the time.

Gets them everytime (*when they are male anyway)

As a user of both Ruby and Lisp, I assure you that are a noisy few
among the adherents of both languages. Lisp evangelists generally
sound different than Ruby evangelists. But I'd be hard pressed decide
which are more "rabid".

Hey now, that's not quite fair. Amusing, but not quite
fair. I'm pretty fond of Lisp-ish languages these
days. It's a nice break from the syntax overload of a
lot of other languages

Hi all,

Are there any libraries that handle YAML->XML conversion? I want to use in-line YAML to allow command-line insertion of XML fragments into a document.

e.g. addxml.rb --entry "config : {name : url, value : www.blah.com }"

would enter:
<config>
<name>url</name>
<value>www.blah.com</value>
</config>

Not a hard problem, but I wasn wondering if I was missing any useful standard methods that I overlooked.

Thanks.
Nick

I am having problems returning a value from a proc object:

@@mappings.each{ |hsh|
        begin
          if( hsh['type'] == c['type'] ) then
            eval( "comp=#{hsh['template']}" )
            hsh.each_key{ |key|
              m = proc { @@ignore.each{ |i| return true if( key == i ) } }.call
             puts m;
            }
            has_mapping = true;
          end
        rescue; raise "Unable to evaluate passed in expression: #{hsh['template']}"; end
        break if( has_mapping ); }

It is at the line: m = proc { @@ignore.each{ |i| return true if( key == i ) } }.call
that I am having the problem. I want "m" to be true, but instead it leaves the calling function.

I have modified the line to be:

m = nil;
proc { @@ignore.each{ |i| m=true if( key == i ) } }.call

but I was just wondering if I could return a value w/o having to leave the outer function.

Just a proof-of-concept thing (not insertion but dumping.)

Use break:

"m = #{m}"
end

p fn # ==> "m = 3"
