Where does IRB go looking for .irbrc files on a windows system?

Looks like

%HOME%/.irbrc [if there is an environment variable "HOME"]
irbrc
irb.rc
_irbrc
$irbrc

It uses "load" to load it, so "load" tries each of the load path
directories for each of [.irbrc, irb.rc, _irbrc, $irbrc].

Hope that helps,
Jeff

By default, there doesn't seem to be a "HOME" environment variable for
windows ...

That's why I'm asking... there's a lot of little goodies that I've added to
my .irbrc file on my linux systems that I'd like to get grooving under
windows ...

Guess I'll have to create that variable ...

Anybody else run into this???

By default, there doesn't seem to be a "HOME" environment variable
for windows ...

That's why I'm asking... there's a lot of little goodies that I've

grooving under windows ...

Nope, windows uses USERPROFILE (which usually is C:\Documents and
Settings\%USERNAME% )
You could set HOME=%USERPROFILE% if irb is indeed looking for HOME on
windows.
Cheers,

Jeff Wood...

I have it on all my machines. I don't know where it came from; I'd assumed
it was there by default. It's the same as USERPROFILE.

Care to share them? I've been looking for tips and tricks on
customising irb since I used ipython a while back, and haven't found
any sites that list any, other than getting completion working.

thanks,
