Issue with Ruby variables -

i expect code insert 4 variables (which contain numerical characters) table in sqlite database:

on :"1" |m|   local      = m.params[1]   local_max  = m.params[2] end  on :"2" |m|   global     = m.params[1]   global_max = p m.params[2]   db.execute( "insert t (local, local_max, global, global_max) values(#{local}, #{local_max}, #{global}, #{global_max})" ) end 

but instead, generates errors:

> [2016/01/07 20:43:09.662] !! bot.rb:88:in `block (4 levels) in > <main>': undefined local variable or method `local' > #<cinch::callback:0x00000000c4fe00 @bot=#<bot nick="cinch">> (nameerror) 

the variables local , local_max exist in scope of first block (the first do...end).

"declaring" variables outside block , letting block capture them should enough:

local, local_max = nil, nil on :"1" |m|   local      = m.params[1]   local_max  = m.params[2] end  on :"2" |m|   global     = m.params[1]   global_max = p m.params[2]   db.execute( "insert t (local, local_max, global, global_max) values(#{local}, #{local_max}, #{global}, #{global_max})" ) end  

i (and else, seems) have no idea on is, it's worth noting if on fancy metaprogramming changes scoping of supplied block, might not work.
