This is not Ruby related but if you ever want to list the content of a
directory, maybe it would be better if you make sure that the
alphabetical order of your filename is the same as the numerical order.

That is to say, do not use 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,.. because if you list
those file you'll get
1
10
1....
2
Using filename 00000001,00000002...,00000010,00000011,00000012,.. will
solve this.
Of course it is only usefull if you need to list the content of a
directory..
