Say I’ve written a few classes in a .rb file, how do I load the classes to
irb, so I can interactively use them?
If I type ‘irb somethin.rb’, irb reads the file then quits. I want to be
able to load the file, then still type stuff in irb and get responses.
Thanks
Robo

Starting irb and then type 'require "somethin.rb"'.

$ irb --help
Usage: irb.rb [options] [programfile] [arguments]
-f Suppress read of ~/.irbrc
-m Bc mode (load mathn, fraction or matrix are available)
-d Set $DEBUG to true (same as ruby -d') -r load-module Same as ruby -r’
What you need is -r.

require ‘filename’

irb -r filename

Thanks, didn’t really wanna ask such newbie questions, still getting grips
on Ruby and its tools.
Thanks again
Robo
