Hello again,
I am a Ruby newbie... I am using the following version on Mac OS X Tiger:
Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/Draw untz$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]
Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/Draw untz$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
I am experiencing several problems....
1. My irb doesn't support tab completion (the same version of Ruby
on WinXP does support tab completion)...
For example:
Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/Draw untz$ irb
irb(main):001:0> a = "Hello Ruby Group"
=> "Hello Ruby Group"
irb(main):002:0> a.rev
When I click on the tab key right after rev, it doesn't complete it by
printing out the remaining characters belonging to the word 'reverse'.
Is there a way to check and see if this functionality is turned on for irb?
2. How do I use similar functionality in irb to clear the buffer, as one would
do in Unix using "clear" and WinXP, using "cls"?
3. I copied a simple Draw coding sample and when I tried to run it,
I got an error...
The code for Draw.rb:
Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/Draw untz$ cat Draw.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'tk'
class Draw

Draw.new(root)
Tk.mainloop

4. What is the *BEST* free Ruby IDE in the world?
Thank you for your time and I hope who ever can help me can try to duplicate this problem using
OS X Tiger and the same version of Ruby as me.
Many, many thanks!
