comments?

Thanks,

More than one method matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:

File::basename, File::basename

You have 2 copies of the docs for File. RI can't differentiate gives
you this message.
Need to delete/hide one of the doc directories so RI will use the
remaining

I search all the file.rb in my Ruby folder and delete
all of them except one.

ri docs are generated from the *.rb files. They usually reside
in a directory '.../doc/<lib name>/ri' near the lib. The ri files are
YAML
and have a file extension of '.yaml'

You need to find the 2 sets of ri yaml files for file and remove one

Cheers

It works but I have to delete the whole folder which contains the files.
