Question

Sorry if this question is very easy, but I can’t find the answer anywhere. How do you refer to an external ruby file in a ruby script if, for example, the file you want is in the same folder as the one you are writing?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

require "YOUR_EXTERNAL_FILE_NAME_WITHOUT_DOT_RB_EXTENSION"

For example, if you have two files, ‘file0.rb’ and ‘file1.rb’ and want to include ‘file0.rb’ from ‘file1.rb’ (and both files are in the same folder), your ‘file1.rb’ should have following statement:

require 'file0'
