Description
When using the gets method from a Windows 7 command line (or XP according to other users), long input strings are truncated to 255 characters. Here is an example of code:
puts "Enter long string"
long_string = gets
puts "size of string : #{long_string.length}"
puts "string: #{long_string}"
For input strings of length exceeding 255 characters, the entered string is always truncated to 255 characters.
