Load ruby script into another ruby script

Question

I need to define a function in a script that is loading another script, and use it in the script being loaded. For example:

main file:

require 'file'
def FunctionA()
    #define function here
end

file.rb:

FunctionA()

I cannot move the definition to the file being included. Is there any way I can do this?

I am not. The one being included is un-compressed using Zlib. The other one I am writing. Also, ruby seems to not count my comments as lines or something, as my line numbers are always off. Is there a way to fix this? — chrisvj

For the use case presented in your question right now, just move require 'file' to the end.

def FunctionA()
    #define function here
end

require 'file'

This was my first thought. Does the error "uninitialized constant Font (NameError)" mean it is looking for a variable, not a function?

Wanted to discuss with you Ruby JSON class.. Could you propose a time, when you will be free ?
