How to load a ruby script in IRB?

Question

I typed a ruby script in Notepad++, and got the output in command-prompt. But when I tried to load the script using the command- load "route.rb" in IRB, it flashed the below error.

My Scripts are located in C:/Ruby21-x64/Ruby

Cannot load such file-- route.rb
from (irb):4:in 'load'
from (irb):4
from C:/Ruby21-x64/bin/irb:11:in '<main>'

Answer 1

Make sure to cd into the directory where your module resides. Otherwise the module you are trying to load will be unavailable to the irb session.
