Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of win32-file
0.1.0. This package provides additional methods for
the File class specific to the Win32 platform, mostly
related to file/directory attribute information.

Synopsis

···

========
require “win32/file”

some_file = “C:\Documents and
Settings\some_user\fruitylicious.txt”

Win32::File.attributes(some_file) # e.g.
[‘hidden’,‘archive’]
Win32::File.short_path(some_file) # “fruity~1.txt”

Win32::File.hidden?(some_file) # true or false
Win32::File.archive?(some_file) # true or false
…

There are no methods for file security yet. A
File::Security subclass will be added in a future
release.

For more information please visit
http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/. Also
available on the RAA.

Enjoy!

Dan

Good work.

Synopsis

require “win32/file”

some_file = “C:\Documents and
Settings\some_user\fruitylicious.txt”

Win32::File.attributes(some_file) # e.g. [‘hidden’,‘archive’]

Why not use symbols instead?

Win32::File.short_path(some_file) # “fruity~1.txt”

shudder :slight_smile:

[…]

Cheers,

Dan, these win32 modules (as well as sys-utils in general) are fantastic.

Andy, any chance we could see these included in the next PragProg
installer?

Thanks,
Chad
