I’m just learning Ruby and making a simple Hello World program, put for some reason the command prompt can not find the directory (which is C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\My Documents\Ruby Testing Zone\hello.rb). With the directory set to C:\Ruby193\bin, I tried to type this command to run my program:

ruby C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\My Documents\Ruby Testing Zone\hello.rb

And I end up with this error:

ruby: No such file or directory -- C:\Documents <LoadError>

I have checked many times to make sure I’m not misspelling any part of the file name. What is going on?

    Put double-quotes around the whole filename. Windows won’t treat it as a single parameter otherwise.
