Patching file class

[Daniel Völkerts]

Hello,

I checked out the ruby cvs tree for me Windows Mobile issue. After I run=20
'nmake' I got a error for File.path(p) NoMethodError as this method is=20
called by a argument (the path I guess).

My ruby 1.8.4 installation only knows File.path without a parameter. I=20
know that I can 'patch' ruby classes and I wrote following:

class File
def path(p)
File.new(p).path
end
end

But where to put this fragement in? I don't find any file.rb or io.rb.

TIA,

In addition I saw that the method is implemented in Ruby 1.9. Is the cvs=20
version only compilable by the newest ruby snapshot? I'd like to use=20
my stable one-click-installer release.

Thanks,

You can put this anywhere in your own application. Ruby's classes can
alwasy be reopened and modified -- even system classes.

You have to use ruby_1_8 branch.
