Hello.
I’m rather new to Ruby, so please bare with me. I just want to know if
there is anything similar to FILE but which represents either the
path to the directory which FILE lies in, or the FILE including
the full path to the file?

Welcome to Ruby then.
I just want to know if there is anything similar to FILE but
which represents either the path to the directory which FILE
lies in, or the FILE including the full path to the file?
Just ask Ruby to expand it for you:
File.expand_path(FILE)
Hope that helps.

You have to use the File.expand_path to do this :
File.expand_path(FILE)
File.dirname(File.expand_path(FILE))

Take a look at the ‘pathname’ library included with ruby:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/pathname/rdoc/classes/Pathname.html
You should be able to get all that information by combining it with
FILE:
path = Pathname.new(__FILE__)
p path.dirname
p path.expand_path

Or:
File.expand_path(FILE+’/…’)

I suggested the same a while back as DIR. I too think it would be
a good thing to have.

Thanks to both of you.

Or even:
File.expand_path(‘…’, FILE)
Oh, the choices!

Ooh, that one’s pretty.
