If you call a Ruby script with a parameter such as:
c:\my source**.c
Ruby will give an array in ARGV that contains all the c files in all
the directories. It will also turn the backslashes into forward
slashes. There doesn’t seem to be a method in Ruby that does this
same thing. The Dir.glob and Dir.entries methods don’t work this way.
Am I missing something, or is there no easy built-in method for doing
this in Ruby? Doesn’t it seem like it should be there? I would think
this would be a common thing for scripting.

Dir.glob(“c:\mysource***.c”)
Use two *, that allows recursive directory searching with glob.
