Well, if you want to do that just include those calls in the script: test(a,b,c) test("yoyo", "yaya") > I tried ruby test.rb test() , but of course, this isn't it. If you want to find out the arguments to the program, then this is easiest: puts "You called me with #{ARGV.size} argument(s) as parameters" Then just invoke it with $ ruby your-script.rb arg1 arg2 If you want to use your method #test to evaluate program arguments you can = do test(*ARGV) But I am not 100% sure I understood what you're after.
