[TxMt] [TextMate] Help With Ruby Command

[Timothy Martens]

With Daniel's help, I'm using the script like:

in the command window:

/usr/local/bin/ruby ~/Library/Application\  
Support/Textmate/completedTask.rb  $TM_FILEPATH

the ruby script:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

task_text = $stdin.read
task_text.gsub!("\\[ \\] ","[X] ")

from = File.basename(ARGV[0],".txt")

File.open("/Users/tim/Documents/projects/GTD/Inbox/ 
done.txt",'a'){|archive_file|
    archive_file.puts
    archive_file.puts task_text
    archive_file.puts "      in #{from} #{`date \"+%H:%M %Y%m%d %a\"`}"
}

I mapped it to a key and it moves the selected text/line to "done.txt"  
Except the task_text.gsub!("\\[ \\] ","[X] ")
stuff doesn't seem to be working.

Any ruby mentors out there? We really want to learn  :)
