Iterate through every file in one directory

Question

How do I write a loop in ruby so that I can execute a block of code on each file?

I\'m new to ruby, and I\'ve concluded that the way to do this is a do each loop.

Answer 1

I like this one, that hasn't been mentioned above.

require 'pathname'

Pathname.new('/my/dir').children.each do |path|
    puts path
end

The benefit is that you get a Pathname object instead of a string, that you can do useful stuff with and traverse further.
