The alert just shows the contents of the Ruby script. I've updated the
script to be just:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
unless ARGV.length > 0
puts "you must provide a valid value"
exit
end
return ARGV[0]
but that is all that is returned. It returns the script contents
instead of the ARGV[0].
Maybe I need to post this in a Ruby forum since that's where my
n00bness lies?
