I am attaching my '.rb' file. Please check it. I am getting an error-
"C:/Ruby193/bin/rubysrc/Event_Manager/event_manager.rb:78: syntax error,
unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end"
How to rectify it?

Hi,
The error message is actually telling you what's wrong: The parser ran
into the end of the file while we was still expecing an "end".

Hey Thanks for replying. I am unable to rectify it. Where should I place
the 'end' exactly???

True, but the error message is hard to decipher. When it says "$end",
it means the end of the file; when it says "keyword_end", it means the
actual word "end".

WAT! "keyword_end" is hard to understand? This is the ruby equivalent of missing a closing brace or a semi colon. A Ruby coder is going to see this error message all the time.
The fact that the OP thought it was easier to post a message here rather than working it out himself boggles the mind.

Actually, I'd say it's the "$end" part that's hard to understand; what
the heck's that dollar sign for? But the whole thing can and should be
made more user-friendly and less dependent on the terminology used in
the implementation.
(And if these parser/lexer/whatever symbols are documented somewhere
other than the source itself, please point it out to me.)
