There is a program, banner(1), on a lot of unix systems that does this. So either you might not want to do it in Ruby (because this does it already), e.g.,
banner -w 40 Hello, World Or you can look at its source and see how it does it: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/text_cmds/text_cmds-9/banner/chset.c contains encoding of the letters and then http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/text_cmds/text_cmds-9/banner/banner.c uses it. It goes further by correctly printing drop characters like j, p, q, etc. HTH, Paul On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 5:29 PM, Miles Morales <nncy.vall...@gmail.com> wrote: > > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m_DS-J8aZ1Q/VUwDJxCokUI/AAAAAAAAAyY/D0q23OpxzYE/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-05-07%2Bat%2B6.35.13%2BPM.png> > How can you alter the following code to replicate the letters 'G' and 'X' > into your command prompt using ROR?
