Hello,

i’m beginning to use Ruby, but i can’t find examples of renaming with  
the Dir class.

I’ve tried a code lign like this :

Dir.glob(“C:\Documents?and?Settings\NET?DESIGN\Mes?documents\Mes?images\*”)  
{ |name| `copy #{name} #{name.sub(/cadre/, "alias_")}`}

but nothing happens.

1. Is my url correct ?
2. how can i give orders to my windows ?

Thanks for your answers
