Message: [QUOTE="Adelle Hartley, post: 4469811"] Hi all, I have been using eval to execute code fragments that I fetch from a database. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the following does not work when executed by eval: unless thing.nil? puts "I have something" else puts "nothing here" end This works as expected when executed "properly" (from within a regular normal .rb file). I don't seem able to make any conditional code work correctly with eval, unless the conditinoal branch is a one liner: puts "I have something" unless thing.nil? Are the limitations of eval documented somewhere (or is it possible that I'm just not doing it right)? Adelle. [/QUOTE]
