Hi all,
Just curious if there’s a Ruby idiom out there for automatic tilde expansion
in filenames. Perl does it like this (taken from the Perl Cookbook, p.
231):
$filename =~ s/{ ^ ~ ( [^/]* ) }
{ $1
? (getpwnam($1))[7]
: ( $ENV{HOME} || $ENV{LOGDIR} || (getpwuid($>))[7])
}ex;
Will I have to do something similar for Ruby?
How do people feel about adding automatic tilde expansion into the IO class?
In other words, you would be able to do:
IO.foreach("~/djberge/.vimrc"){ |line|
puts line
}
and it would automatically expand that to your home dir and read your .vimrc
file (for example).
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Dan
