Dear ALL Hi, I am practicing Ruby from the last 2 weeks. I am trying to call the script in one file to the script written in other file. I had written a script in test.rb The script is as follows : > **···** > > ####################################################################### > >   def test\_b\_count > >       sleep 2 > >         puts "\n\nNumber of links on the web page are :" " > #{$ie.links.length}" >         puts "\nNumber of divisions on the web page are :" " > #{$ie.divs.length}" > >         all\_links\_href = Array.new > >         $ie.links.each {|link| all\_links\_href \<\< link.href} >         #puts all\_links\_href >         i = 0 >         until i \> $ie.links.length >         $worksheet\_two.Range("a#{i+1}").value = all\_links\_href[i] >         i += 1 >       end >       j = 0 >       until j \> $ie.links.length >         $ie.goto "$worksheet\_two.Range(a#{j+1}).Value" >         if $ie.h2(:text,"Error 404--Not Found" ).exists? >         $worksheet\_two.Range("b#{j+1}").Value = "Fail" >         else >           $worksheet\_two.Range("b#{j+1}").Value = "Pass" >         end > >         j += 1 >         end >       end > end > ############################################################# > > I am trying to call this script in other file called login.rb > > But i am getting the error: > > \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in > 'gem\_original\_require': ./test.rb:4:syntax error, unexpected > kIN,expecting $end(SyntaxError) > Finished in 3.469 seconds. >                 from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in 'require > from login.rb : 6 > \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > > Please help. > Thanks in advance > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

The test.rb script script as you've shown it here is faulty (too many "end" lines). m. > **···** > > Pranjal Jain \ wrote: > > > Dear ALL > > Hi, > > I am practicing Ruby from the last 2 weeks. > > I am trying to call the script in one file to the script written in > > other file. > > > > I had written a script in test.rb > > The script is as follows : > > ####################################################################### > > > >   def test\_b\_count > > > >       sleep 2 > > > >         puts "\n\nNumber of links on the web page are :" " > > #{$ie.links.length}" > >         puts "\nNumber of divisions on the web page are :" " > > #{$ie.divs.length}" > > > >         all\_links\_href = Array.new > > > >         $ie.links.each {|link| all\_links\_href \<\< link.href} > >         #puts all\_links\_href > >         i = 0 > >         until i \> $ie.links.length > >         $worksheet\_two.Range("a#{i+1}").value = all\_links\_href[i] > >         i += 1 > >       end > >       j = 0 > >       until j \> $ie.links.length > >         $ie.goto "$worksheet\_two.Range(a#{j+1}).Value" > >         if $ie.h2(:text,"Error 404--Not Found" ).exists? > >         $worksheet\_two.Range("b#{j+1}").Value = "Fail" > >         else > >           $worksheet\_two.Range("b#{j+1}").Value = "Pass" > >         end > > > >         j += 1 > >         end > >       end > > end > > ############################################################# > > > > I am trying to call this script in other file called login.rb > > > > But i am getting the error: > > > > \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > > > > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in > > 'gem\_original\_require': ./test.rb:4:syntax error, unexpected > > kIN,expecting $end(SyntaxError) > > Finished in 3.469 seconds. > >                 from > > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in 'require > > from login.rb : 6 > > \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > > > > Please help. > > -- > matt neuburg, phd = matt@tidbits.com, [Matt Neuburg’s Home Page](http://www.tidbits.com/matt/) > Leopard - [http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/leopard-customizing.html](http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/leopard-customizing.html) > AppleScript - [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596102119](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596102119) > Read TidBITS!
