Problem with FileUtils move command

Ruby
21

Try something really dead simple like this to see what’s going on:

C:> ruby.exe -e ‘ARGV.each {|arg| p arg}’ one two three four

then try:

C:> ruby.exe -e ‘ARGV.each {|arg| p arg}’ .

Maybe it’s not in [0]?? Drop that loop at the top of your script as well
and lets see what we get.

ARGV.each do |arg|
puts “Argument: #{arg}”
end

Pro tip: When debugging vars that may be nil, use #p instead of #puts.
You
get much more useful output, e.g.:

p ARGV[0] #=> nil
p ARGV #=> []

OK, gentlemen. I figured it out. I’m just an idiot. If you look at the
top of this Ruby script, you’ll see that I do a parse of the PDF file to
see if it’s a “healthy” PDF file. We use a program called Image Alchemy
to do that. And, . . ., these are bad PDF files!!! And, because of that,
as they’re told, they’re moved to a sister “badfiles” directory. So,
they’re not there to MOVE!

I’m sorry for all your time. You guys have been great.

Cheers,
Peter
