# Save this file to your computer so you can run it 
# via the command line (Terminal) like so:
#   $ ruby shakil_the_dog.rb
#
# Your method should wait for user input, which corresponds
# to you saying something to your dog (named Shakil).
 
# You'll probably want to write other methods, but this 
# encapsulates the core dog logic

def shakil_the_dog
  #regex = Regexp.new(Regexp.escape("treat"), Regexp::IGNORECASE)
  while true
    input = gets.chomp.downcase
    if input == "go away"
      puts "The dog has left the room"
      exit
    end
    eval(input)
  end
end

def eval(input)
    if input == "woof"
      4.times { puts "woof" }
    elsif input == "shakil stop"
      puts "quiet dog "
    elsif input == "meow" 
      5.times {puts "woof"}
    elsif (/treat/i).match input
      puts "regex input"
    else
      puts "woof"
    end
end

Much better @tmtwd, a few notes:

1. Change it to a .rb file so it syntax highlights
2. Avoid using exit and instead break out of the infinite while loop when input is go away
3. Missing white space issue here: 5.times {puts "woof"}
4. eval method content is indented 2x for some reason (compared to the other method, for example) - plz fix.
