[TxMt] Re: how to call CocoaDialog from Ruby?

In article C42BA0B9.3B603%matt@tidbits.com Matt Neuburgmatt@tidbits.com wrote:

In my Ruby script which is called somewhat indirectly, I tried saying `CocoaDialog blahblah` but it didn't work; evidently the indirectness means that I'm not inheriting some path trickery from TM. So I changed it to this:

`#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/bin/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDia logblahblah`

That works. But is there a better way? Thx - m.

Here's how I do it:

#! /usr/bin/env ruby require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/ui' test = TextMate::UI.request_string(:title => "Some title", :prompt => "Please type something here")

Hope that helps.
