Concat set of files

ruby-talk
1

Hi ,

I have a set of files with file names like -
ABC.html , tmp-ABC.html
PQR.html , tmp-PQR.html
...

I would like to append tmp files in main and delete tmp files within the
directory.
append tmp-ABC.html file to ABC.html , delete tm-ABC.html

not sure whats the simplest way under the directory loop without opening
files.

Thanks

hi dabba dabba,

  maybe the Find module will help -
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/find/rdoc/Find.html -

  it's great for recursively scanning directories and finding files
without opening either. it works something like:

  Find.find(directory){|path| do_something(path)}

  you could then use the File class to do whatever you need to do...
