Running another ruby script from a ruby script

Question

In ruby, is it possible to specify to call another ruby script using the same ruby interpreter as the original script is being run by?

For example, if a.rb runs b.rb

Answer 1

If you just want to run a script in the context of an existing process, you can also do this

eval File.read("/path/to/your/script.rb")

Not sure what your use case is but this could be useful for example if you have a Rails console open and you want to execute some code in a scratch file, but don't want to have to keep copying the entire block of code into your console.
