Menu, require and .rb files

[bizello]

Hi guys,

I've read some posts about require and rb files.
So, I would like to know if is possible you have a menu that each sub item call a script or function inside differents .rb files? How to do this?
I have a main scritp and inside it there are a lot of function that can become smaller functions in separate files used by mora than one script.
Example: I have two rb files: file1.rb and file2.rb.
File1.rb do an action that use a function from file2.rb . But file2.rb can work alone too. So, I want to create a menu with two subitem to choose file1.rb or file2.rb.
This would be amazing! I could separate my functions and use them in several othes scripts, without copy the code lines.
Thanks

If you set up each script as a module or a class you can call different aspects of the various methods it contains...
You can pass arguments like MYtool.new(1) or Mytool.new(2) and in the class's def initialize(opt=1) method of Mytool class you have a 'case' test 'opt 1' do this method and 'opt 2' do this other method etc...
With a module you'll end up with something like the Geom module and you would use it like that - Geom.Point2d.new(...) or Geom.Transformation.scaling(...) etc etc...

Thankfully Ruby makes this simple, just wrap it all up in a module and you can split it over multiple files. For example...

File 1

module MyModule
    def foo(x)
        puts(x)
    end
end

File 2

module MyModule
    def bar()
         foo("Hello World!")
    end
end

and by Ruby magik the call to bar works since it's in the same namespace.
