Hi, these links are dead. Does this package still exist anywhere? Is it 
available as a gem?
Thanks,
Dan

You really are going to take the time to open up a 3+ year old thread on a
mailing list (for the second time by the way) as opposed to typing "ruby
metadata" into google?

My post did not show up (on ruby-forum.com) the first time.
All that google shows are these same dead links.

Not sure if this can be done by "scanning the file".

It can be done via Win32OLE, by checking the Document object's 
TrackRevisions property.

require 'win32ole'
word = WIN32OLE.new('Word.Application')
doc = word.Documents.Open('c:\stuff.doc')
is_tracking = doc.TrackRevisions

That's an abbreviated example. Let me know if this would help and you 
need more details.

Re: Ruby Groups/Meetings

Seattle.rb is a pretty huge oversight. I found the link on
ruby-lang.org a while ago, therefore figured it was the "official"
place to look for Ruby User Groups.

I think I'd simply go with:

ruby-1.9.2-p0 > puts "foo...bar".gsub!('...', "\u2026")
foo…bar

I wouldn't except iconv() to know how to handle this. I'm not an expert
but I've never seen a conversion creating "multiple characters".
"Multiple bytes", yes, but not "characters".

Having been prodded a few times about a Pledgie campaign, I've taken the hint :)
Anyone who believes RubyConf will be materially improved by having an Ellie on the premises can now
immanentize my eschaton at:

	http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/13596

I'm trying to raise a total of £700, £500 for the air fare from London and another £200 to cover hotel and
living expenses for the four or five days I'll be in New Orleans.

well here is the code

CODE

x = 1200
puts "Before the loop, x = #{x}"

3.times do|y:x|
  puts "Looping #{y}"

end

puts "After the loop, x = #{x}"

IMO this is more idiomatic:

class Object
   def recursive_print indent = ""
     puts indent.gsub(/\s+$/,"--") + to_s
   end
end

module Enumerable
   def recursive_print indent = ""
     map { |child| child.recursive_print indent+"|  " }
   end
end

[1,2,[11,22,[111,222,333,444],33],3,4].recursive_print
