Loading .rb files in IRb

[Gudni Hilmarsson]

Hi..

I am trying to get IRb to load a file. I am running a fresh install of
Mac OS X Leopard and I have updated my gems and RubyGems. Below is the
Class file ( From the Pickaxe and saved under /Users/gudni/Song.rb ) and
the results from my previous attempts.

Attempt 1:
--> LoadError: no such file to load -- /Users/gudni/Song.rb
from (irb):3:in `load'
from (irb):3

Attempt 2:
-->LoadError: no such file to load -- /Users/gudni/Song.rb
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
from (irb):5

I can't get it to work. According to the pickaxe it should be enough to
give the full path to the file, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any
help would be much appreciated

P.S. Happy holidays

class Song
def initialize(name, artist, duration)
@name = name
@artist = artist
@duration = duration
end

def to_s
"Song: #@name--#@artist (#@duration)"
end
end

It really should work. Note that path and file names are probably
case-sensitive, though. You can try to use Dir.glob to list the
contents of the directory :
=> ["/home/fred/toto.rb", "/home/fred/main.rb"]

Thanks for the Reply Fred...

I figured out that TextMate added a whitespace after .rb !

Dir.glob('/Users/gudni/*')
=> ["/Users/gudni/Desktop", "/Users/gudni/Documents",
"/Users/gudni/Downloads", "/Users/gudni/KaraokeSong.rb ",
"/Users/gudni/Library", "/Users/gudni/Movies", "/Users/gudni/Music",
"/Users/gudni/Pictures", "/Users/gudni/Public", "/Users/gudni/Sites",
"/Users/gudni/Song.rb ", "/Users/gudni/test.rb "]

That is whack

Anyway thanks for pointing me in the right direction
