How to rename a file in Ruby?

Question

Here\'s my .rb file:

puts \"Renaming files...\"

folder_path = \"/home/papuccino1/Desktop/Test\"
Dir.glob(folder_path + \"/*\").sort.each do |f|
    filename

If you're running in the same location as the file you want to change

File.rename("test.txt", "hope.txt")

Though honestly, I sometimes I don't see the point in using ruby at all...no need probably so long as your filenames are simply interpreted in the shell:

`mv test.txt hope.txt`
