Hi altogether.
Can some tell me how to copy files?
I tried it with including “ftools.rb” but somehow it didn’t work…
in ftools.rb is a method copy(sourcefile,destfile)
how do i exactly use it?
in ftools.rb is a method copy(sourcefile,destfile)
pigeon% ls [bc].rb
b.rb*
pigeon%
pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'ftools'
File::copy 'b.rb', 'c.rb'
pigeon%
pigeon% b.rb
pigeon%
pigeon% ls [bc].rb
b.rb* c.rb*
pigeon%
pigeon% head -12 lib/ftools.rb
class << File
TOO_BIG = 1024 * 1024 * 2 # 2MB
def catname from, to
if FileTest.directory? to
File.join to.sub(%r([/\\]$), ''), basename(from)
else
to
end
end
pigeon%
'class << File' means that ruby will define methods in the singleton class
(i.e. a class method). This is why `self' must be the name of the class
when you call ::copy
