# pryman
A way to save a snapshot of a pry session.
# How it works
Paste this into your **".pryrc"** file:
```ruby
Pry::Commands.block_command "batman", "Save the session" do |filename|
filename ||= "batman.rb"
filename = Pathname.new filename
while File.exist? filename
no_ext = filename.basename.sub_ext('').to_s
counter = no_ext[/\d+$/].to_i.next
incremented = Pathname.new(no_ext.sub /\d*$/, counter.to_s)
filename = filename.dirname + incremented.sub_ext(filename.extname)
end
inout = _pry_.input_array.to_a.zip(_pry_.output_array.to_a)
body = inout.map { |input, output|
inspected_output = output.inspect.gsub(/^/, ' # ')
"#{input}#{inspected_output}"
}.join("\n")
File.write(filename, body)
end
```
**1)** Say you are learning a new concept and testing it out in pry, but you want to save it to a **".rb"** file.
**2)** Now you just type in (while in pry):
$ batman
It will write a file called **"batman.rb""**.
**3)** If you run **"batman"** again, it will add **"1"** to **"batman"**.
So **"batman1.rb"**.
**4)** If you call:
$ batman lol.rb
It will now make a file called **"lol.rb"** instead of "batman.rb"
**5)** It will save the new file to your CURRENT WORKING directory.
