I'm trying to create a DSL in ruby, can you suggest me some good books? I looked around amazon and safari but so far couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to read binary in ruby file and execute it directly in memory?
for example something like this:
x = IO.read('/bin/ls')
execute(x)
I tried system(x) but it doesn't work
ArgumentError: string contains null byte
I have seen this sample written in Ruby code, how i can simulate it in C language?
Open3.popen3(command) do |stdin, stdout, stderr|
@stop_stdin = stdin
while !stdout.eof do
output = stdout.read(1024 * 100)
list_pipes.each do |out|
out.print output
end
end
end
Hi,
I was going over some pages from WikiVS, that I quote from:
because lambdas in Python are restricted to expressions and cannot contain statements
I would like to know what would be a good example (or more) where this restriction would be, preferably compared to the Ruby language.
Thank you for your answers, comments and feedback!
Which set of libraries and tools would you recommend to use for development SOAP-service on Ruby 1.9 - soap-tools, web-servers, or maybe a web-framework?
I manually placed a library in the library directory (/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8) and when I try to require it, it says "no such file to load".
I used "$:.first" to get the library path, so why wont it work? Is there any good way to debug this?
Thanks

I am looking to host multiple ruby on rails apps and want to use lighttpd or nginx.How do I do multiple name server configuration. ?
I know how to do it in apache through webmin control panel.But trying to move away from apache here
I'm not sure what to call this, so I'll give an example.
In PHP
1==2 || 2 returns 1 or true
In Ruby
1==2 || 2 returns 2 (The second statement if the first evaluates to false).
Is there any short way to implement similar thing in PHP?
I'm trying to write a ruby script which automatically downloads some files from some server ever 30-45 minutes (to prevent overload) as long as my computer is turned on. It's possible that my computer might be turned off at some point, but the download should resume (probably re-download the current file).
I already have the file list but I can't figure out how to make such a script to run autonomously.
What are some ways I can do this?
In ruby, how do I test that one array not only has the elements of another array, but contain them in that particular order?
correct_combination = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[1, 5, 8, 2, 3, 4, 5].function_name(correct_combination) # => false
[8, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9].function_name(correct_combination) # => true
I tried using include, but that is used to test whether [1,2,3].include?(2) is true or not.
I want to unescape the following string:
'\u00020\u0002Standard\u00023\u0002Doe John\u000169\u0002\u0010\u0002Lorem\u0002\u0011\u0002Ipsum\u0002\u0014\u0002'
Javascripts unescape function works ok, however how can I unescape it in ruby?
Take in mind that unescape(previousString) is 0Standard3Doe John69LoremIpsum.

What are the best practices for reading and writing binary data in Ruby?
In the code sample below I needed to send a binary file using over HTTP (as POST data):
f = File.new("resp.der", "r") # binary file
begin
while true
out.syswrite(f.sysread(1)) # out is an output stream (type IO)
end
rescue EOFError => err
puts "Sent response."
end
While this code seems to do a good job, it probably isn't very idiomatic. How can I improve it?
Any recommendation on libraries to do audio processing in Ruby. I need to do the following two tasks:
Find silences, for which I'm happy to just be able to iterate over each sample in the wave.
Cut and paste pieces of wav files to form a new wav file.
Convert wav to mp3, which I will probably leave to lame anyway.
I'm looking for the equivalent of NAudio, a C# library.
i cant understand what the difference is between a namespace and a scope in the routing of ruby-on-rails 3.
could someone please explain?
namespace "admin" do
resources :posts, :comments
end
scope :module => "admin" do
resources :posts, :comments
end

I'm looking for a much more idiomatic way to do the following little ruby script.
File.open("channels.xml").each do |line|
if line.match('(mms:\/\/{1}[a-zA-Z\.\d\/\w-]+)')
puts line.match('(mms:\/\/{1}[a-zA-Z\.\d\/\w-]+)')
end
end
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Could somebody please explain why the variable named foo remains true in the code below, even though it's set to false when the method is called? And why the symbol version behaves as expected?
def test(options = {})
foo = options[:foo] || true
bar = options[:bar] || :true
puts "foo is #{foo}, bar is #{bar}"
end
>> test(:foo => false, :bar => :false)
foo is true, bar is false
I've only tried this using Ruby 1.8.7.
