From: Tom Sawyer Date: 2003-01-23T17:04:07+09:00 Subject: improved import if anyone's interested: def import(*args) fd = File.dirname(caller[0]) args.each do |file_name| require File.join(fd, file_name) end end now you can do: import 'file1', 'file2', 'file3' and you'll actually get a slight speed boost. i have found this #import method to be very very useful. -- tom sawyer, aka transami transami@transami.net
