Rake task with editor input

gistfile1.rb

task :with_editor do
  require "tempfile"
  temp_file = Tempfile.new("notes")
  
  unless editor = ENV["EDITOR"]
    abort "Please define your editor."
  end
    
  # Open editor
  system("#{editor} #{temp_file.path}")
  
  #
  # Do something with file here
  #
  
  # Delete temp file
  temp_file.unlink
end

looks cool! definitely give it a try -- fyi you can avoid unlink by passing a block to Tempfile#new
