Ruby Script to exe conversion

Description:

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby application into a standalone, compressed Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (Darwin) executable. You can look at it as a “compiler”. Not in the sense of a source-code-to-byte-code compiler, but as a “collector”, for it collects all necessary files to run your application on an other machine: the Ruby application, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby runtime library (stripped down for your application). Anyway, the result is the same: a standalone executable (application.exe)

Installation:

1. Install ruby — Latest version Ruby1.8.6 available from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

2. then goto command prompt and run the command

c:\ruby\gem install rubyscript2exe

Goto command prompt c:\ruby\bin\gem install rubyscript2exe

Now your machine is ready convert one ruby file to exe.

4. If u want to convert c:\test\example.rb file to exe.

Then goto command prompt just run the following command

c:\test\rubyscript2exe example.rb -w

5. Now u look ur folder c:\test. The new exe file placed on that window.

Just double click that exe. Now you are ready to publish that exe to all.

Feature:

1. Run the EXE file –> There is no need to install ruby.

ie.show_objects
ie.close

If u want to learn more about WET then follow this link

5. Watir can have easily understandable codings. Not need to any previous programming skills. Fresher also easily pick up this scripting language.

My position in Watir:

I have done some scripts in Watir.

1. RFSearch Engine :

* If you want to search some thing in Net. But u dont have time to spent click and view all the things. You want only all the links with their URL.

* If you want to know about status of your site in google search engine. It will shows which page your site is placed in google search?

* Its depending upon Google search engine. it will works IE,Firefox(firewatir). Now i am working with Safariwatir.

2. Automatic Yahoo mail checking and Composing:

* It ask Your uaer name and password and as well as how many mails u want to see in your inbox after(Ask after visit your home page)

* If you want to read 10 mails then it will goes to automatically open that mails. Here I am using last come first serve method.So you read the latest mail in very first.

* Mail composing –> It ask To, Subject, Body contents…. and click automatically send button.
