For some reason my test.rb file wont load. (I'm using the online workspace.) I typed: "ruby test.rb" and got the error message: "ruby: No such file or directory -- test.rb (LoadError)" I saved the test.rb file so I have no idea whats going on. Any help would be appreciated!

and it will work. However, if your test.rb is in the public directory, for instance, you would need to run ruby public/test.rb
Or you could cd into it by running the command: cd public
then running ruby test.rb
to see if it your file is on your level, run the command ls
it will show you a list of files in your current location.
to move up a level in your directory run cd ..
