Question

Is there a way to load files that only match a specific string? For example, suppose I want to load files that matches account1.rb account2.rb and so on. I want to be able to do something like

require File.expand_path("../account*.rb", __FILE__)

but of course this does not work. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You can do the same thing with a loop:

Dir.glob(File.expand_path("../account*.rb", __FILE__)).each do |file|
  require file
end

The expand_path method only resolves paths. It does not expand wildcards.
