Why can't I give a configuration file as argument when I run irb? It
seems that looks for conf files in the order:
~/.irbrc
.irbrc
irb.rc
_irbrc
$irbrc
I would however like to have more flexibility than that. I would like
to be able to use a special conf file in whichever directory I am. Is
it only me who wants this flexibility? To me the ability to give a
conf file as argument seems like the most obvious argument to have in
irb.
Best regards,
Fredrik

How about
irb -r config.rb
?

How about
irb -r config.rb
I tried that but it didn't work. I don't think irb treats the file
given by -r as a configuration. I runs what is written in the file as
if written by the user once irb has started.

Yet another way.
IRBRC=config.rb irb

What do you mean by "treats as configuration"? How is the effect of -r different?

Sorry, I'm crazy. I didn't realize that my config file should be named
config.rb instead of config.rc... What a silly mistake... Not it's all
working great!
