There is a play by email strategy game that I have been playing for
quite a while. I've been keeping my turn reports and I've built a
tool that will parse them for me so they are a bit easier to read. It
will also merge my reports with my allys. Anyway, I'm working with
the CGI lib to try and build a web page for the interface so it will
be even easier to read. I have two questions. First, is it possible
for me to send the output directly to a file? Currently I'm going in
to the command prompt and using ruby cgitest.rb >blah.html but it
would be easier if I could just have it automatically put into a file.
Second, is there a way for me to cancel the off line mode? Having to
push ctrl + z every time I run the script is a little annoying.
Eventually I will put this up on the web but for now I just want it to
run on my machine. Any help would be appreciated.
