Question

Can we reference an array from one ruby script to another and access array elements?

for example : my first rb file

1.rb

$joe = "one"
$po = "two"
$so  = "three"
names = [ $joe, $po, $so ]

second rb file

2.rb

require "1"
$trial = names[1]
puts $trial

But this didn’t work.

Answer 1

You could set names as a global variable, though I’d only recommend it if this is a small script. Else, a Module is the way to go, like in @Tempus’s answer.

Example:

1.rb:

$joe = "one"
$po = "two"
$so  = "three"
$names = [ $joe, $po, $so ]

2.rb:

require "1"
$trial = $names[1]
puts $trial
