From: "rkh (Konstantin Haase)" Date: 2013-04-13T00:01:10+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:54227] [CommonRuby - Feature #8258] Dir#escape_glob Issue #8258 has been updated by rkh (Konstantin Haase). File.fnmatch_escape would make more sense, imo. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8258: Dir#escape_glob https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8258#change-38493 Author: steveklabnik (Steve Klabnik) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: This is inspired by https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6010. Basically, if you do a Dir.glob in a directory whose name contains a glob character, things break. It would be nice to have a method which would escape the input so that we can Dir.glob inside of those directories. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
