From: eoghan Date: 2005-10-19T07:47:21+09:00 Subject: require problem Hello Im doing a simple test. I have 2 files: mouse.rb --------- my_string = 'blah' rabbit.rb --------- require 'foo' print my_string eoghanj$ /opt/local/bin/ruby bar.rb bar.rb:3: undefined local variable or method `my_string' for main:Object (NameError) Im simplified my example down to this; and I cant see what im doing wrong... hope its not too stupid. I read this part about irb restrictions, but im not sure it applies? http://www.rubycentral.com/book/irb.html Thanks Eoghan
