To read information from multiple files present in the same folder

Ruby
1

my_text=“This is the first sentence and the second sentence doesn’t
exist”

words=my_text.split(" ")
my_hash=Hash.new(0)
words.each do |w|
my_hash[w]+=1
end

my_hash.each do |k,v| puts k+" "+v.to_s end

#I need edit this code to read information from more files in same
folder

I’m guessing you need my_test to be equal to a file’s contents. Do you
want it to be a single string formed from multiple files, or do you want
1 Hash per file?

Also, your current method doesn’t allow for punctuation and is
case-sensitive. Here’s an example of a Regexp which could improve it,
although you can’t account for every possibility :slight_smile:

The first thing you need to do is try for yourself. There no shortage of
examples of reading text files, and you haven’t even tried to do that.
