Hi all,

I just thought I'd drop this one in for any newbie's playing around
with directory listings...

me@somehost> find /somedir > results

File.open("./results").each do |file|
  puts file unless File.directory(file)
end

.... What do we think the output should be if given that /somedir
contains both directories and files...

And why does this give you a different result...

require 'find'

Find.find("./results").each do |file|
  puts file unless File.directory(file)
end

Yep.. probably *extrememly* obvious to the oldtimers... but drove me
nuts...\n

Hint: ...chomp...
