Subject: Re: Where does instance_eval _magically_ set the variable to?

Todd,
Yes, load more proper here than instance_eval.
Also, I will use File.open block instead of File.read.

However, this is still a mystery:
In the original code, where did the variable "name" go?  How to access
that?

When I use load 'param.txt', how to access variables loaded from the
param.txt file?

 >cat param.txt
Name='John'
Name='John'
last="smith"
  >./load.rb
./param.txt:2: warning: already initialized constant Name
John
./load.rb:6: undefined local variable or method `last' for main:Object
(NameError)

Thanks
