Clue about deleting empty directories in a file structure?

Rails
1

I have been playing around w Dir and FileUtils, and I can delete the
stuff
I want to get rid off , but then I get some empty folders
is there any way to remove ( recursively… ) all empty folders ?

I found a piece of code dated 2007 … is there anything new around ?

thanks for feedback

[SOLVED] found a better module extending FileUtils … it works

module MyExtensions
module FileUtils
# Gracefully delete dirs that are empty (or contain empty children).
def rmdir_empty(*dirs)
dirs.each do |dir|
begin
ndel = Dir.glob("#{dir}/**/", File::FNM_DOTMATCH).count do |d|
begin; Dir.rmdir d; rescue SystemCallError; end
end
end while ndel > 0
end
end
end

module ::FileUtils
extend FileUtils
end
end
