I’m using Ruby 1.8.5, with SciTE as my IDE.
I’m not a beginner at Ruby, I’ve been using it for about a year and a
half now.
I just got a new computer, so I installed Ruby onto it. So I open up
SciTE and type out a fairly long program. I run it, and all that pops
up is the cmd window that should compile my code. It hangs there
forever until I close it manually. I said “what is up with this?” and
I tried something. I had an inkling that it was gets() that was
causing my problems, so I made a new program:
name = gets("What is your name? ")
puts name
It still hangs! So, I make a new program, and put:
gets()
It hangs! When I make a program that says
puts(“Hello!”)
It works fine.
Help me!

I don’t think that is what you want, more likely you want something
like:
puts "What is your name? "
name = gets
puts name
Look up the definition for gets, the argument for it is the record
separator, meaning that with your code you had to type What is your
name? to stop inputting.
It still hangs! So, I make a new program, and put:
gets()
Maybe because it waits for input?

There’s a well-discussed issue with Windows, Scite, and stdin. It’s
Scite thats hanging. If you run your script from the command line it
should work. Searching this list for “scite windows stdin” I think
might find you a solution to getting gets working from Scite.
HTH,

No. It doesn’t take anything in. It just hangs there, until I exit the
window. I’ll try it from the command line, but I’ve never had this
problem before.
puts "What is your name? "
name = gets
puts name
Still, no. You think I wouldn’t have tried something like that? xD

You may want:
print "What is your name? "
$stdout.flush
name = gets()
puts name
and enter in the scite console.
You can ignore the cmd-window that pops up.
At least it does work for me

I had this same problem, run it from the command line and it will be
fine.

Just put:
$stdin.sync = true
on top of your source file.
