How do I create an instance of a class in another rb file

[brian.kejser]

Hi

I have two rb files in the same folder.

The first file is one.rb and defines an instanciable class named 'One'.
The second file is two.rb and needs to create an instance of class 'One'
as defined in one.rb.

How do I import the class 'One' into two.rb?

Thanks

require 'one'
one = One.new

Hi

What happens if there is more than one class in 'one.rb'?

Assuming the only class defined in one.rb is 'One' then you should be able
to do:
require 'one'

Hi

Thanks.

I thought 'require' only imported files in the Ruby lib folder.

Well it only loads files from paths that are in $: (aka $LOAD_PATH).
One of the paths that is in $LOAD_PATH by default is '.', which is
the current working directory.
