You are better off initially just putting the names into a names.rb file. Perhaps just declare a big array of names in another file and call it from your code.
I know *why* you want to load from an external file, but in my experience its best to keep this stuff simple for testing. Once you are comfortable with that, investigate YAML. Which is a simple text format that Ruby supports internally. The text format can be used to describe objects. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
