Real Beginner Question - (NameError
CSZ

Hi !
I'm going my way through a Ruby online tutorial right now and i have
following problem:
I have two files. File one:
wordlist.rb
code_words = {
'starmonkeys' => 'Phil and Pete, those prickly chancellors of the New
Reich',
'catapult' => 'chucky go-go', 'firebomb' => 'Heat-Assisted Living',
'Nigeria' => "Ny and Jerry's Dry Cleaning (with Donuts)",
'Put the kabosh on' => 'Put the cable box on'
}
makeSwamp.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'wordlist'
# Get evil idea and swap in code words
print "Enter your new idea: "
idea = gets
code_words.each do |real, code|
idea.gsub!( real, code )
end
# Save the jibberish to a new file
print "File encoded. Please enter a name for this idea: "
idea_name = gets.strip
File::open( "idea-" + idea_name + ".txt", "w" ) do |f|
f << idea
end
When i execute the makeSwamp.rb file i can enter a "new idea" but than i
get:
/makeSwamp.rb:8: undefined local variable or method `code_words' for
main:Object (NameError)
(line 8 is: code_words.each do |real, code| )
Why ??? I've run kdiff and its exactly as in the tutorial... Maybe its
just to late for me..

Hello. There is an unfortunate error in the design of that example.
This exact question comes up from time to time on this list. (:
I searched the archives[1] for "Heat-Assisted Living" and came up with
this thread:
http://rubyu...
It looks to have some good answers in it.
Hope that helps,
-Harold

When you require (or load) a file, the local variables are not brought
in. Try changing code_words to a global variable by making it
"$code_words" (in both files). Or if you think it's more appropriate,
change it to a constant by making it "CodeWords" in both files.

Are you interested in on-site Ruby training that uses well-designed,
real-world, hands-on exercises?
