hello all,

I am a newbie to ruby.

how do I override a method from a particular class (in std class lib), just for one program, without modifying the class.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Just re-write it in your program where it's needed.

class Foo
   def bar
     //method to override
   end
end

Very simple.

Just to clarify, you can define or redefine methods of core classes:

Class String
   def inspect
     "This string's value is \"#{self}\""
   end
end
