Is there any way to save current job to a file in irb?

You can put this in your .irbrc:

def dump_history(file=nil)
if file
File.open(file, "w") do |f|
f.puts IRB::ReadlineInputMethod::HISTORY.to_a
end
else
puts IRB::ReadlineInputMethod::HISTORY.to_a
end
end

I use SCITE to test program fragments and can then save the code.
