Subject: Removing files in directtories

Almost there... I've included line 7 as I'd like to be able to remove
files from a directory using code blocks. Commented it out for now
until I can work out how it's done. Suggestions appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w                                                      
def back_up                                                             
  backdir = ENV["HOME"] + "/foo/"                                       
  puts "about to backup some files and tar them into ~/foo"             
  puts "listing data in ~/foo"                                          
  Dir.foreach(backdir)   {|file_names|                                  
#      File.delete("#{backdir}" + file_names)
 puts File.directory?
file_names }
end 
back_up
