running (ruby) scripts from within emacs

running (ruby) scripts from within emacs

[Patrick Gundlach]

Dear Emacs users, 

I edit a ruby script (or a shell-script or whatever) and I would like
to run this script with one or two keypresses (or M-x something) from
within emacs. What is the way to go? Is there (this sounds very
likely for me) a built in mechanism for this?

In shell-script mode there's `C-M-x' for running the region, and
`C-c C-x' for running the file.  Do `C-h m' in the mode to see the
available commands.

I don't know about Ruby -- if there is a Ruby mode it probably offers
something equivalent.

I should use describe-mode more often. Thanks for your answer.

There is a ruby-mode shipped with emacs but no keystroke like the ones
you mentioned. I think I need to cook something up myself.
