Hello.
I'm rather new to Ruby, so please bare with me. I just want to know if there is anything similar to __FILE__ but which represents either the path to the directory which __FILE__ lies in, or the __FILE__ including the full path to the file?

Welcome to Ruby then.
I just want to know if there is anything similar to __FILE__ but which represents either the path to the directory which __FILE__ lies in, or the __FILE__ including the full path to the file?
Just ask Ruby to expand it for you:
File.expand_path(__FILE__)
Hope that helps.

Deniz;
Take a look at the 'pathname' library included with ruby:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/pathname/rdoc/classes/Pathname.html
You should be able to get all that information by combining it with __FILE__:
path = Pathname.new(__FILE__)
p path.dirname
p path.expand_path

I suggested the same a while back as __DIR__. I too think it would be
a good thing to have.

You have to use the File.expand_path to do this :
File.expand_path(__FILE__)
File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
Thanks to both of you.

Or even:
File.expand_path('..', __FILE__)
Oh, the choices!
