Hello,
I just installed the Ruby interpreter and created the file test.rb.
In the Folder Options, I created the rb file type and an action called Run and assigned the application C:\Ruby192\bin\ruby.exe "%1"" So It's possible for to get into the Windows XP command line and run the script simply by doing this:
C:\>test.rb
But when I need to send parameters to the script, I can't simply do the following:
C:>test.rb parameter1 parameter2
I'll have to do the following instead:
C:\Ruby192\bin\ruby.exe c:\test.rb parameter1 parameter2
I just noticed that I'm able to edit the action the following way to pass more parameters:
C:\Ruby192\bin\ruby.exe "%1" "%2" "%3""
That allows me to give 2 parameters to the script, but for some cases I need to pass a handful of parameters and it doesn't seem right for me to append "%5" "%6" "%7" ad nauseam.
What's the canonical way to do it?
