Test if file exists

ruby-talk

Hi,

Look at this :

if (ARGV.size != 2)
        puts 'usage: ./compare file1 file2'

else
        filename1 = ARGV[0]
        filename2 = ARGV[1]

···

--------------

How would I test if the arguments given (filename1 and 2) are actually files
that exist?

Thanks.

File.exists?(filename1)

or

require 'pathname'
Pathname.new(filename1).exists?
