How do I rescue from a `require': no such file to load in ruby?

Rescue without arguments rescues only StandardError s. The LoadError (that is raised by a file not found) is not a StandardError but a ScriptError (see blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/09/06/... ). Therefore you have to rescue the LoadError explicitly, as MBO indicated.

You have to explicitly define which error you want to rescue from. Begin require 'someFile. Rb' rescue LoadError puts "someFile.

Rb was not found, have you" puts "forgotten to specify the -I flag? " exit end.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
