Needed help in a ruby script with user interaction involved!
Hi all,

I am struck at this point and needed some help in ruby
I wanted to write a script that accepts the no of VNICs the user wants to create and
then ask for the name of each Vnic he wants
then use these names to create the corresponding Vnics

Eg: suppose that there are 2 Vnics to be created
Then the user should be asked for the names of these and upon entering the names the corresponding ones are created

PS: this is actually a part of the wrapper script that i am struck with!
The command to create the Vnic is already present i just need to know how to include the names provided by the user into the command so that the job is done!

Could anyone please help me
Thanks

irb

IRB(1)							 Ruby Programmers Reference Guide						    IRB(1)

NAME

     irb -- Interactive Ruby Shell

SYNOPSIS

     irb [--version] [-dfm] [-I directory] [-r library] [--[no]inspect] [--[no]readline] [--prompt mode] [--prompt-mode mode] [--inf-ruby-mode]
	 [--simple-prompt] [--noprompt] [--tracer] [--back-trace-limit n] [--irb_debug n] [--] [program_file] [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION

     irb is the REPL(read-eval-print loop) environment for Ruby programs.

OPTIONS

     --version	    Prints the version of irb.

     -E external[:internal]
     --encoding external[:internal]
		    Same as `ruby -E' .  Specifies the default value(s) for external encodings and internal encoding. Values should be separated
		    with colon (:).

		    You can omit the one for internal encodings, then the value (Encoding.default_internal) will be nil.

     -I path	    Same as `ruby -I' .  Specifies $LOAD_PATH directory

     -U 	    Same as `ruby -U' .  Sets the default value for internal encodings (Encoding.default_internal) to UTF-8.

     -d 	    Same as `ruby -d' .  Sets $DEBUG to true.

     -f 	    Suppresses read of ~/.irbrc.

     -h
     --help	    Prints a summary of the options.

     -m 	    Bc mode (load mathn, fraction or matrix are available)

     -r library     Same as `ruby -r'.	Causes irb to load the library using require.

     --inspect	    Uses `inspect' for output (default except for bc mode)

     --noinspect    Doesn't use inspect for output

     --readline     Uses Readline extension module.

     --noreadline   Doesn't use Readline extension module.

     --prompt mode
     --prompt-mode mode
		    Switch prompt mode. Pre-defined prompt modes are `default', `simple', `xmp' and `inf-ruby'.

     --inf-ruby-mode
		    Uses prompt appropriate for inf-ruby-mode on emacs.  Suppresses --readline.

     --simple-prompt
		    Makes prompts simple.

     --noprompt     No prompt mode.

     --tracer	    Displays trace for each execution of commands.

     --back-trace-limit n
		    Displays backtrace top n and tail n.  The default value is 16.

     --irb_debug n  Sets internal debug level to n (not for popular use)

ENVIRONMENT

     IRBRC

     Also irb depends on same variables as ruby(1).

FILES

     ~/.irbrc	     Personal irb initialization.

EXAMPLES

	   % irb
	   irb(main):001:0> 1 + 1
	   2
	   irb(main):002:0> def t(x)
	   irb(main):003:1> x+1
	   irb(main):004:1> end
	   => nil
	   irb(main):005:0> t(3)
	   => 4
	   irb(main):006:0> if t(3) == 4
	   irb(main):007:1> p :ok
	   irb(main):008:1> end
	   :ok
	   => :ok
	   irb(main):009:0> quit
	   %
