def traverse(root)
Dir.foreach(root) do |file|
next if file[0] == ?.
puts file
traverse(root + '\\' + file) if File.directory?(root + '\\' + file)
end
end
This is my initial attempt. Two things feel rather wrong:
1) Is there a simpler way to test the beginning of a string? A startsWith?(aString) like method?
2) I'm iterating through filenames, then appending the path each time. Is there a way to get a
collection of File objects from a directory?
Any other pointers to where I could improve would also be greatly appreciated.
(I tried posting this twice through Teranews, but it doesn't seem to have got through.)
