Wrong number of Arguments?

Ruby
1

Hello all,

I’m pretty new to Ruby, I’m trying to Post with Parameter however I keep
getting a “wrong number of Arguments” error? can someone tell me where
I’m going wrong?

code:

require “uri”
require “net/http”

vin=ARGV[0]

params =
{‘partnerCode’=>‘CAR’,‘partnerSiteLocation’=>5,‘checkReport’=>‘DEC’,
‘checkReportVersion’=>30,‘vin’=>vin
}

x =
Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(“Free VIN Check from CARFAX”),
params)
puts x.body

rb(main):010:0> Ruby test.rb <<this is how I am running the script

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 2…3)
from (irb):10:in test' from (irb):10 from C:/Ruby22/bin/irb:11:in’
irb(main):011:0>

Method Kernel#test needs 2 to 3 arguments.
See Module: Kernel (Ruby 2.3.0)

You are providing no arguments. If you enter “ruby test.rb”, it is
interpreted as ruby code:

ruby(test().rb)

First the argument gets evaluated, and the method Kernel#test is called.
Which results in the error you got.

If you want to run your script, enter

ruby test.rb

on the command line, not within irb (ruby’s interactive shell).

ruby.exe myscript.rb myparm

One last question now that I see the full html, how would I display only
what I need from the html ?
