# 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.
