Saving YAML data

[Nigel Wilkinson]

Hi

I've just started playing with YAML but am having problems saveing the
file. What I can work out from the docs is that I should use something
like:-

require 'yaml'
y = YAML.Store.new( "./yaml.store.1", :Indent => 2, :Separator =>
'---.pstore' )

however when I do this in irb I get

irb(main):001:0> require 'yaml'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> y = YAML.Store.new( "./yaml.store.1", :Indent => 2,
:Separator => '---.pstore' )
NoMethodError: undefined method `Store' for YAML:Module
from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0>

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

Cheers
Nigel

require 'yaml'
y =3D YAML.Store.new( "./yaml.store.1", :Indent =3D> 2, :Separator =3D>

however when I do this in irb I get

irb(main):001:0> require 'yaml'

irb(main):002:0> y =3D YAML.Store.new( "./yaml.store.1", :Indent =3D> 2,
:Separator =3D> '---.pstore' )
NoMethodError: undefined method `Store' for YAML:Module
from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0>

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

This is what I usually use:

File.open('filename', 'w+b') {|file| YAML.dump my_data, file}

YAML::Store

you are trying to call the 'Store' method of the YAML module with 'YAML.Store'

cheers.

YAML::Store

signifies calling a method.

Thanks, that seems to do what I want.

With ref to the other solution for some reason I still get

irb(main):051:0* require 'yaml'
=> false
irb(main):052:0> y = YAML::Store.new( "./yaml.store.1", :Indent => 2,
:Separator => '---.pstore' )
NameError: uninitialized constant YAML::Store
from (irb):52
irb(main):053:0>

But I have a result that works

Cheers

Try "require 'yaml/store'", and it should work. The YAML::Store
functionality is defined in a separate place, and isn't required with
just "require 'yaml'".

HTH,

Yep, works a treat,
