Hi,
This should be easy, for some reason I can't remember how to do it.
I have in /lib a file called "joe_converter.rb" that I want to be able to run from terminal. Here's the beginning of "joe_converter.rb":

I don't think you can do it using script/runner (I may be wrong). You could run the script directly using ruby lib/joe_converter.rb, and handle the parameters in your script. Your rails app wouldn't load in this case. Another (probably preferred) option is to create a rake task in lib/tasks that takes the parameters and calls JoeConverter.do_the_conversion passing the parameters.
If you are accessing any other classes/modules of your rails app (like any model for instance), go with the rake task as they would load as well.
Someone else might have better ideas though
Well, you have to play nice with the “rules” of the command line (like no spaces etc). Also note that whatever comes into your rake task is simply a string. You would have to parse that string and build any object you need, such as a hash or array…
Any code on how you’re handling the params?
