This codes run mighty fine on my win2k, 1.8.1 build. Does the error occur
when you run the script period or when you type something in after the
script is run? Also, what build and on what system are you running this on?

Subject: Novice Question: Getting “bad file descriptor error” when
trying to use gets in ruby 1.8.1 for windows
Hi I’m trying to run this code:
while (line = gets)
puts “The given line is #{line}”
if line =~ /^eval:(.*)$/
puts “#$1 # => #{eval $1}”
end
end
That I found on a tutorial website. Ruby gives me this error when I try to
run it:
ruby guessnumber.rb
higuessnumber.rb:4:in `gets’: Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
from guessnumber.rb:4
Exit code: 1

Are you running this through an Editor (may be SciTE or TextPad?)
IF that is the case then try it from the command prompt.

Yes I am (SciTE). I’ll try it out without when I get back to my
computer on Sunday. Is there any way to get it to work with SciTE
though? It’s so convenient to just hit f5 and you can see the
program’s output.
