Hi,

I am trying to zip up my application folder using RubyZip.

It works fine except for one glitch: There is a RadRails project file  
“.project” which does not get included.

When I test Dir.glob("#{app\_dir}/\*\*/\*) it does not return “.project”

Is there some problem with filenames starting with “.”

(I am using Windows)

Thanks  
George

Figured it out…  
I need FNM\_DOTMATCH flag.
