PS - I have also discovered that run_file runs the code in question in its own thread, which means that the rest of your code will proceed as it does so. This can lead to timing errors if, for example, the external file contains variable definitions that your main code needs to reference.

It seems that eval_file works the same, but evaluates the contents of the external file in the current thread - so it won’t proceed until it is finished. Perfect!

Run_file command in a loop

One thing to try is: live_loop :repeating_file_call do eval_file "C:/Music/song.rb" end Note that run_file will run the contents of the file as if you had pressed the Run button - this essentially creates a new thread to run the code so the thing that called run_file does not wait for it to finish (which is why you were having to explicitly call sleep to wait). However eval_file runs the contents of the file within the current thread as if it was a function call - so the existing thread will…
