Is there a way to get the paths to all previously required files?

Let’s say I am in irb and I execute

require 'base64.rb"
=>true

and then I want to know the path to the base64.rb file,
are the paths to previously required files stored in a global
variable?

I wan’t to do something like:

$required_files
=>[’/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/
ruby/1.8/base64.rb’]

Anyone?
Thanks,
Tim

P.S. I know that I can do shift+cmd+D in text mate and open the file,
which obviously requires the path–but this script uses
TM_SUPPORT_PATH–and it seems like something that could be more
easilly accessed directly from RUBY. At any rate, I would rather be
able to do it in irb. Thanks.

################From ‘open require’ command of the RUBY bundle of
TextMate######################
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require “#{ENV[‘TM_SUPPORT_PATH’]}/lib/ui.rb”
require “#{ENV[‘TM_SUPPORT_PATH’]}/lib/textmate.rb”

REQUIRE_RE = /^\s*(?:require|load)\s*([’"])([^’"#]+?)(?:.rb)?\1[ \t]*
$/

gems_installed = begin
require ‘rubygems’
true
rescue LoadError
false
end

requires = if ENV[‘TM_CURRENT_LINE’].to_s =~ REQUIRE_RE
["#{$2}.rb"]
else
$stdin.read.scan(REQUIRE_RE).map { |_, path| “#
{path}.rb” }
end
abort ‘No includes found.’ if requires.empty?

file = if requires.size > 1
choice = TextMate::UI.menu(requires) or exit
requires[choice]
else
requires.pop
end
dir = $LOAD_PATH.find { |dir| File.exist? File.join(dir, file) }
if not dir and gems_installed and gem_spec =
Gem::GemPathSearcher.new.find(file)
dir = File.join(gem_spec.full_gem_path, gem_spec.require_path)
end

if file and dir
dir.sub!(%r{\A.(?=/|\z)}, ENV[‘TM_DIRECTORY’]) if ENV
[‘TM_DIRECTORY’]
file_path = File.join(dir, file)
puts file_path
TextMate.go_to :file => file_path
exit
else
puts “File not found: #{file}”
end

Look at:
$" (historic variable)
$LOADED_FEATURES (English equivalent)

It’s not exactly what you want, but you could combine those with:
$:
$LOAD_PATH

To find out where each one came from. (Assuming, of course, that the
LOAD_PATH hasn’t been altered since the require happened.)

Here is a one liner that does it. Thanks for the hint.

@file = “/mathn.rb”
$:.each{|next_search_path| puts next_search_path + @file if File::exists?(next_search_path + @file)}
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/
1.8/mathn.rb
