Building Utilities with Ruby Scripts

[@ministerstein]

I like that he goes through the official documentation with us and uses it to explain examples instead of just saying "there is method X and method Y and now use it" as many other tutorials do, because the official documentation should always be the single source of truth, not the tutorial.

[@collinjilbert]

Love this comment! I've noticed as well that methods get glossed over often so I'm trying to not do that lol. Also, I find it helpful to refer to the documentation often just as a reference and maybe you'll even learn something new about the method you came there to look up.

[@wmcraver]

Yes! This was fantastic to see!

9:34 I have written what you have but when I run it and search for files I can see or even just a letter of something that should be in the directory I am getting an empty array. Could this be a versioning issue?

[@collinjilbert]

I won't rule it out but I don't think that it is the issue. I would confirm the you actually have directories/ files in the directory that you are searching. After that I would start looking at the output of each line of code you have written up to that point.

@@collinjilbert Excellent. Will do. Thank you!

[@lipin007]

thank you!

[@collinjilbert]

Thank you!

[@llejk]

Neat :-) Next video, are you going to add tab auto-complete, arg parsing (something like „ -help „ ). Maybe there are some gems that help migrating typical script who call find and grep, subcalls with pipes, xargs … ?

[@collinjilbert]

I have thought about doing such videos. I don't know about them being the next ones but definitely on the list :)

10:27 =~ 😢

[@collinjilbert]

Sad face because? Because the regex is specific to my setup?

[@jamespinto1884]

@@collinjilbert I always type that as ~= the first time around. 🤣 This brings up so many wounds. 🥺

[@collinjilbert]

@@jamespinto1884 ohhhhh lol. Yeah, I've definitely done that before too.
