Hi! I'm trying to create a program that will move contents that I've
downloaded (i.e. folder called "Downloads") to another folder ("Songs").
In other words, save mp3's to "Downloads", then run a Ruby script to
move them to folder called "Songs". Can anyone point the way? I'm
playing ftools library but can't find how to do this. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the suggestion. I implemented a program with your idea.
Hope it helps Wood
Thanks,

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'fileutils.rb'

if ARGV.empty?
puts "Source and Destination arguments required:\n"+

else @source = ARGV[0] @destination = ARGV[1]
self.run
end
end
def run
mp3s = Dir.glob(@source+"*.mp3");
if mp3s.empty?
puts "No mp3s to move."
else
puts "Moving these mp3s:\n"+mp3s.join("\n") FileUtils.mv mp3s, @destination
end
end
