require ‘fileutils’
have a look at
FileUtils.cp
Ok, thanks
So I was missing something ; the FileUtils class isn’t described in
the
Pragmatic Programmer’s Guide
No, but it does describe a class called File in the Standard Library
section
docs:
copy ref.copy( fromName, toName, verbose=false ) → true or false
Equivalent to calling File.syscopy , but logs the attempt to $stderr if
verbose is not false
an example:
irb(main):001:0> require ‘ftools’
=> true
irb(main):002:0> File.copy(‘test.c’, ‘test.h’, true)
test.c → test.h
=> true
irb(main):003:0> quit
