Thanks, Dan. I still get the same thing, though:
irb(main):008:0> txtfiles.each { |txtfile| File.basename(txtfile, 
".txt") }

=> ["eula.txt", "libcurl.COPYING.txt", "openssl.LICENSE.txt", 
"psout2.txt", "run
dll32.exe.Z-missing.txt"]

This gets the same result, too:

irb(main):012:0> txtfiles.each { |txtfile| File.basename(txtfile, ".*") 
}

=> ["eula.txt", "libcurl.COPYING.txt", "openssl.LICENSE.txt", 
"psout2.txt", "run
dll32.exe.Z-missing.txt"]
