I have tried using gets and no input dialog pops up. Here is my code:

puts "this is a test" puts gets puts "end of test"

I use Run Ruby, and here is the output:

this is a test puts "this is a test" end of test

Please excuse the simple question, but I am experimenting with TextMate and Ruby. The output from running a Ruby script goes to a stdout window. However, I can't figure out how to get input from the gets method. Is there any way to read from stdin when running a Ruby script from the Run Command>Ruby>Run Ruby menu?

Thanks for any help.

<snip> Yes, this happens automatically, but stdin is redirected to read input from a dialog which should pop up whenever your script does a gets or similar.

oh, hehe, it is just the Run Ruby command. Sorry, I thought you meant this was built into TextMate!

Nope :-p, but it's built into the Run Python command also :-).
