Subject: FileTest.directory?( x ) weird behavior

I have a bit of code I'm working on where I need to seperate the
directories from the files.  Currently, it's processing the first
three properly and skipping the rest.

I'm running this on windows.

Here is the code:

def GetFolders
  rtn = ""
  Dir.foreach( @userFilePath ) do |x|
	if  FileTest.directory?( x ) 
	    rtn += "<Folder name=\"" + x + "\"  />" unless x <= ".."
	end
   end
   return rtn
end
	
def GetFiles
  rtn = ""
  Dir.foreach( @userFilePath ) do |x|
    rtn += "<File name=\"" + x + "\" size=\"000\" />" unless
FileTest.directory?(  x )
  end
  return rtn
end

It gives the output of:

<Folders>
<Folder name="test"/>
</Folders>
<Files>
<File name="404.html" size="000"/>
<File name="500.html" size="000"/>
<File name="asdf" size="000"/>
<File name="asdnt.txt" size="000"/>
<File name="silk" size="000"/>
<File name="thingy.html" size="000"/>
</Files>

The actual directory contains:

<DIR>          .
<DIR>          ..
<FILE>    404.html
<FILE>    500.html
<DIR>          asdf
<FILE>    asdnt.txt
<DIR>          silk
 <DIR>          test
<FILE>    thingy.html
4 File(s)            567 bytes
5 Dir(s)  22,350,041,088 bytes free

I'm still learning ruby, so I've probably written something incorrectly...
