Subject: [ruby-talk:10722] Dir["*"] vs. Dir["**"]

I'm confused about these two commands. If my_dir contains:

dir1
file1
file2

and dir1 contains:

dir2
file3

what should the output be from the following commands?

Dir.chdir("my_dir")
Dir["*"]
Dir["**"]

? On my win2k box using "ruby 1.6.1 (2000-10-05) [i386-cygwin]" I don't see
the contents of subdirectory dir1 with either 'Dir' command.

I thought I knew what recursively meant. Am I just brain-dead?

thanks
