# Ruby stable version

Print the current Ruby stable version.

Example:

    $ ruby-stable-version

    2.3.1

This implementation has three steps:

  * Fetch the Ruby website download page

  * Search the HTML to match a link to a download file,

  * Extract the version string, such as "2.3.1".

This implementation intentionally uses just shell tools,

because we want the script to be as portable as possible.
