Hi I currently have a generator which creates a directory of files. I want clients on my app to be able to execute that generator and save those files in their personal folder on the server. The thing is that I have always executed this generator via terminal and it always creates the series of files on the current path on the terminal where I executed the command. How can a user execute this generator on the browser and the files be created in his personal folder. thanx --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m not sure of what you''re asking, but if this
''generator'' is an
application residing on the server running your web application, you
can call it using the ruby command system(''executable_name'').

Hello Rey and thanks for your answer. This generator belongs to a gem. So the idea is that when a user is browing my website and click on a specific button this generator should be executed and directory of files is created on his personal folder on the server (this folder is created when a user signs up) Thanks, Elías On Feb 10, 8:10 am, Rey9999 <reyfourn...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''m not sure of what you''re asking, but if this ''generator'' is an > application residing on the server running your web application, you > can call it using the ruby command system(''executable_name''). > > regards, > rey9999 > > On 10 Feb, 01:01,bbtosurf<bbtos...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Hi > > > I currently have a generator which creates a directory of files.

My advice stands. You''ll need to call the generator using system e.g.: system(script/generate blah blah parameters here) selecting a target directory could be another story, if this generator does not accept a target as a parameter. how about moving the generated files after you''ve run the command?
