Subject: Re: Itterating through one's path(s)

I'm not exactly sure what your're trying to accomplish.  If you're
trying to get a list of all the files that are under each path in the
ENV['PATH'] variable, methinks this'll work:

files = []
filter = /^\./, /~$/, /\.o/ # btw, this regex is invalid.
ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).each do |path|
  files.concat Dir.open(path).select { |d| !d.match(filter) }
end

If thats totally not what you're trying to do, then maybe you could
clarify?  Also, the regex you list isnt valid, the forward slashes need
to be escaped, but even then, there wont be any forward slashes in your
file names.
