From: "Eduardo Mucelli R. Oliveira" Date: 2010-05-04T22:55:07+09:00 Subject: Scope I have a script with those two following classes: class String def to_b ["true"].include?(self.downcase) end end class HereIWantUseToB "string".to_b end Ok, that works fine, the to_b method can be "seen" by HereIWantToUseToB class. But I wanted to those two classes inside another class, or module, like this: class Everything # The two classes described above are here end module Everything # The two classes described above are here end Anyway, for both cases I have the message "NoMethodError: undefined method `to_b’ for string." What is the scope point in here, what is the best way solve that so ?
