Default text entered in a puts dialog

12 34

I want to put a default answer in the text entry box that appears when
you puts some text.

photoGMT = -4
puts "What time zone are the photos in?"
answer = gets.chomp.to_i

I'd like photoGMT to appear as a default answer. I know this wouldn't be
very convenient in Terminal, but works well with TextMate.

For ASers this is equivalent to

set photoGMT to -4
display dialog "What time zone are the photos in?" default answer
photoGMT

This is the best I can imagine: you cannot fill the input buffer
easily, so I propose to use the default value if the reply is empty.

photoGMT = -4
puts "What time zone are the photos in? [#{photoGMT}]"
ans = gets.strip
answer = ans.empty? ? photoGMT : ans.to_i

TextMate errors on strip. I change to chomp and TextMate errors on empty
field. Works OK if the field is filled in.

Thanks for trying.

I ran the above code in TextMate with Run (cmd-R) and it worked fine.
It only failed when I tried to execute it with Execute and Update ‘#
=>’ Markers (ctl-shift-cmd-E). Did you execute with Run or with
Execute ...?

An update fixed the problem.
