Try browsing through the methods of File and Dir in the docs:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/

Hope that helps.

Here’s the website I use:
http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/

Check out Dir and File

Here’s some sample code I’ve been tinkering with that should get you
started.

def findDirs (thisDir)
Dir.entries(thisDir).each { |x|
next if [ “.” , “…” ].include? x
thisFile = File.join(thisDir,x)
case File.ftype(thisFile)
when “directory”
puts "Found a directory: "+thisFile
findDirs(thisFile)
when “file”
#puts "Found a file! "+File.join(thisDir, x)
end
}
end

DirHelper.new.findDirs(ARGV[0])
end

Try Dir and File:

my_dir = Dir[“C:/workspaces/Source/**/*.rb”] # collect all the
ruby files recursively
my_dir.each do |filename|
puts filename
File.open(filename, “r”) do |f|
puts f
end
end

Here’s a good place to start:

http://ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

Look for Dir and File.

How can I display the content of a folder after some time of its
creation, in order to see the newly added files?
Any script with File.readlines? any help?
