Starting another programs from inside

ruby-talk
1

I searched ruby-talk but I could not find the answer.
I want to start one program from inside another.

test.rb
  puts 'hi'

test1.rb
  `test.rb`

test1.rb results => Exec format error - test.rb
(Errno::ENOEXEC)

Thanks
Jeff

I think you need to make test.rb executable, which is what Errno::ENOEXEC is telling you.

Or you can use

  `ruby test.rb`

Of course, this assumes that the ruby executable is actually called ruby. By
the way, using the backtick syntax, the output of the executed program is not
displayed on the screen, but is returned as a result of the `` method call.
If you the output from the executed program to be displayed, you can use the
system method.
