Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to write more useful scripts that we will probably reuse in the future. We also got a glimpse at some of the tools that Ruby has to handle text. We also learned how to open, read, and write content to and from a file and how this may come in handy when writing scripts. Lastly, we were exposed to Ruby’s command-line arguments, which make our automation work easier. We also learned of Ruby’s user input arguments, which make our scripts more interactive for users. Having learned this, we are now ready to undercover some misconceptions about PHP, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and other frameworks.
