Directory listing

Rails
1

Hello,
I want to list all the files from a directory (but just the files, no
other directories).
Any ideas how ?
I was thinking of using lf -F and then remove all the elements that
contain the “/” character, but i have no ideea how to acomplish this.
Anyway just a thought.

Thanks…

You can use the Dir class to do that pretty easily. If you just want

a list of all files in a directory excluding any subdirectories you
can do it like this:

Dir[RAILS_ROOT+"/public/*"].reject{|f| File.directory?(f)}.map {|f|
File.basename(f) }

Something like this ought to suffice…

path = “/Users/christos/Desktop/Rails”
files = Dir.entries(path).reject { |inode| !File.file?(inode) }

-christos
