Hash with files

Ruby
1

Hello all,

I am trying to run File.size? on each file in my hash, yet I am getting
this error.
Goal ==> get file sizes stored in hash from Dir.glob

$ ruby test.rb
yes
test.rb:49:in size?': can't convert Array into String (TypeError) from test.rb:49 from test.rb:48:ineach_value’
from test.rb:48

apparently my hash value has to be converted to a string b4 testing it
with File.size?

Wonder if I have to use dirhsh.inspect to convert it to a string first?

$ ruby test.rb
yes
{“vrdevgzlogs”=>[“derek.log.gz”], “vrdevlogs”=>[“derek.log”]}
{“vrdevgzlogs”=>[“derek.log.gz”], “vrdevlogs”=>[“derek.log”]}

thank you!

Dir.glob returns an array of matches. Could you post the code where
you’re constructing the hash?

Hi Martin,

here it is. its also in the attachment.

Dir.chdir(“/cygdrive/c/temp/log”) or raise StandardError, “Change dir
failed to ~aevvrlog!”

###-- Create hash with files for rolling from dir above --###
dirhsh = Hash.new 0
dirhsh[“vrdevlogs”] = Dir.glob(“.{log,out}“)
dirhsh[“vrdevgzlogs”] = Dir.glob(”.{log,out}.gz”)

if ( dirhsh.length > 0 )
puts “yes”
dirhsh.each_value { |value|
puts dirhsh.inspect
if (File.size?(value) > FSIZE)
puts “Yes its larger”
end
else
raise StandardError, “Hash ‘dirhsh’ has no values, logs will not be
rolled!”
end

Note that Dir.glob returns an array, since there could be several
matching files

if ( dirhsh.length > 0 )
puts “yes”
dirhsh.each_value { |value|

So here value is an array of several files

   puts dirhsh.inspect

So now we want

value.each {|filename|
if File.size(filename) > FSIZE
