Shoes.app :title => "PPID", :height => 400, :width => 700 do
  background black, :height => 60
  background gradient(rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7), rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0))
  title "PPID", :align => "center", :stroke => white
  caption "Personal: Person Info Database", :top => 80, :left => 20
  stack :top => 85, :left => 380 do
  flow do
  name = edit_line :width => 150
  button "Search" do
    ds = SomeDataProcessing.openOn("PPIDdata.txt")

#< between here there is a other part of the script but that is working

class SomeDataProcessing
  Person = Struct.new :name, :last_name, :phone_number, :birthday,
:city, :adress
  def self.openOn(p_file)
        new(p_file)
  end
  def initialize(p_file)
        @file = p_file
        @persons = {}
        loadData
  end
  def listData
    @persons.keys.sort.each {|p| showlistData(p)}
  end
  def loadData
    File.foreach(@file) do |line|
      name, last_name, phone_number, birthday, city, adress =
line.chomp.split(",")
      @persons[name] = Person.new(name, last_name, phone_number,
birthday, city, adress)
    end
  end
  def showData(p_name)
    person = @persons[p_name]
      if person.nil?
      then
        @show_text2 = "#{p_name} not in database."
      end
      stack do
        @show_text2 = "Name: #{person.name} #{person.last_name}"
"Phonenumber: #{person.phone_number}"
"Birthday: #{person.birthday}"
"City: #{person.city}"
"Adress: #{person.adress}"
      end
    edit_box @show_text2, :width => 250, :height => 200, :top => 140,
:left => 380
  end
    def showlistData(p_name)
    person = @persons[p_name]
      if person.nil?
      then
        @show_text3 = "#{p_name} not in database."
      end
        @show_text3 = "#{person.name} #{person.last_name}"
      edit_box @show_text3, :width => 250, :height => 200, :top => 140,

You can check the Shoes Console with command-/. When typing something into
the search bar, I see 'uninitialized constant
Shoes::App::SomeDataProcessing.' This happens because you use
SomeDataProcessing before you define it. Moving the definition above gives
an error about not having the data file, do you have an example of the
format it's in?

heey thank you all for the reactions

to Steve Klabnik, the file i am using is verry standart it is

a .txt file with data in saperated lines, the data in one line is
saperated with a "," here is a example for it:
test,test,test,test-test-test,test,test test

just put it in a .txt file with the name "PPID data"

to Ashbb: i understand that it doesn't work that way

but i think u mean this code :
dl = SomeDataProcessing.openOn("PPIDdata.txt")
dl.listData

that code works without Shoes.

thanks again

Hi Lark Work, Steve and folks,

You define the SomeDataProcessing class within Shoes.app block.

But even in the Shoes.app block, you can't use Shoes methods (ex. stack,
edit_box, etc.) directly in the SomeDataProcessing class. As same as the
following snippet:

···

--------------
class A
  def a
    puts 'hi'
  end
end

def m
  a
end

m #=> undefined local variable or method `a'
--------------

So, try this out: https://gist.github.com/866935

Hope this helps,
ashbb
