Message: [QUOTE="Robert Klemme, post: 4513106"] I don't see a regexp here. Do you want general information? Does this help? [URL]http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/language.html#UJ[/URL] You need backticks or %x{}: f.puts `ruby parse_journal.rb #{friend} #{person}` f.puts %x[ruby parse_journal.rb #{friend} #{person}] If friend and person can contain whitespace you probably need to add single quotes around #{friend} and #{person}. This is just a typo. :-) Kind regards robert [/QUOTE]
