Making my internal speaker beep

Matt Ramos

2/20/2006 6:16:00 PM

Hello. I'm trying to execute a beep on my computer with ruby as an
alert, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've looked online and I have this.

require "Win32API"
def beep
o = Win32API.new("kernel32","Beep",%w(i i) , 'v')
o.call(2000,50)
end

It seems to be calling the API exactly how I need, but it won't execute
the beep. Any tips/ideas?

Thanks,
Matt

This works for me on Win2k

def beep
puts "\C-G"
puts "\C-G"
sleep(1)
puts "\C-G"
puts "\C-G"
end

mnemonic: "a" is for audiable

Or perhaps for "alert".
This also works in awk.
