[TxMt] [TextMate] Help With Ruby Command

[Kjell Olsen]

I love the idea of Daniel Von Fanges TextMate Log Script[1], but my 
unfamiliarity with both ruby and textmate is giving me a headache.   I 
hope I can use you guys as a sounding board and this doesn't bug you 
too much.

I can't make the date function work within the command - If I execute 
my script outside of textmate it works beautifully, but from within 
textmate I get:

<code>
date: illegal time format
usage: date [-nu] [-r seconds] [+format]
        date [[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]hh]mm[.ss]
</code>

When I run the same script with the textmate variables replaced by 
normal strings I get:

<code>* [23:19:54 ] @test -> just a test action</code>

Do the ticks ` in the date function mean that I'm using bash's date 
program?  The error thrown in the command matches the error from the 
command line, but why doesn't it happen when the script is executed by 
ruby?

Why won't this work?  All the help I can get would be very much 
apreciated.  I'm using v1.02b1, and here's what the command looks like 
in it's entirety:

<code>
/usr/bin/env ruby <<END
task_text = "$TM_CURRENT_LINE"
task_text.gsub!("* ","* [#{`date \"+%H:%M:%S\"`}] ")
task_text.gsub!("\n","")

from = "$TM_CURRENT_FILE"

File.open("/Users/kjell/Documents/planner/complete",'a'){|archive_file|
    archive_file.puts task_text
    #archive_file.puts "      in #{from} #{`date \"+%H:%M %Y%m%d %a\"`}"
    archive_file.puts
}
END
