Ruby newbie here. I''m trying out Ruby 1.9.2 on Windows (RubyInstaller) and encountered some strangeness in using the IO class. I have IOtest.rb with one line: I0.read(''somelocalfile'') But when I load it in irb: irb(main):001:0> load ''IOtest.rb'' NameError: uninitialized constant Object::I0 from IOtest.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'' from (irb):1:in `load'' from (irb):1 Now, when I call IO.read directly: irb(main):002:0> IO.read(''somelocalfile'') it works! (prints the file contents to the command line) I tried putting the IOtest.rb file in the Ruby bin folder and running it from there, but still get the error. Any ideas as to what I''m doing wrong will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi! It seems that you Typed the capital letter I followed by zero: I0 The right is the letter I followed by the letter O IO Can you see that?
