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.

To skip . & .., you can use Dir::each_child.

Dir.each_child('/path/to/dir') do |filename|
  puts filename
end

Dir::children returns an array of the filenames.
