help about yaml/eval code

[dave]

ddir = ENV['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] + '/data'

Find.find(ddir){|f|
if (f =~ /.yml$/) # has yml extention
eval "#{File.basename(f.delete('.yml'))} = YAML.load(File.new(f))"
else
next
end
}

I serched on ruby-talk but i did not find any solution.

How this code can be written (or re-written)?

tnx.

I am not sure if I should be answering since I seem to be
even denser than usual but to me it looks like you are
trying to assign the contents of a file to a variable
named after the file, is that right? This might work:

files =3D {}
Find.find("#{ENV[DOCUMENT_ROOT]}/data") do |path|
if path =3D~ /.yml$/
File.open path do |file|
# #eval or #instance_variable_set should work here, too
files[file.basename[0...-4]] =3D YAML.load file
end
end
end

tnx.

[dave]

files[file.basename[0...-4]] = YAML.load file

it sounds good, tnx again.
