You need to post your full irb session and the file you are trying to
require/load. The error looks like at some point in your file you must
write:

/ThisIsYourRegExp/gary

Which to Ruby looks like you are trying to give the options 'gary' to the
RegExp. Given the coincidence of your name, I would suggest you have a
simple syntax error in the file you are trying to load.
