Hi,
Is there some easy way to rename directories from Ruby code?
Like Dir.rename(old, new)?

Keeping in mind that a dir is just a file…
require “ftools”
File.move(“old”,“new”)

Dan
File.rename(old, new)

D’oh! Thinking too much in *nix, I guess.

Hmmm…I think you’d want to loop over the parent directory and rename
each entry individually. I don’t feel good about renaming entries in the
directory while I’m looping over it, so my inclination would be to collect
the directory entries in an array with Dir. and then loop over the array
with Array.each. Something like this (NOT tested!)
Dir[‘*’].each { |old|
next if old == ‘.’ || old == ‘…’ || !FileTest.directory(old) next
unless /re/.match(old) # skip entries that don’t
# match your regexp
new = old.sub(re,sub) # create new name File.rename(old,new) #
File.rename(old,new)
}
