[ruby-talk:21640] Re: Problem with directory? Re: Path walk ing on windows

That runs, but without detecting the directories as separate 
from files.  A kind-of solution that I have found is to use:

print 
"show tip files:\n"
val 
= 
"#{tip_root}/*.html"
print 
"file pattern: <<#{val}\n"
print 
`find "#{tip_root}" -name "*.html" -print`
print "\n"

to create the list of files, which can then be picked apart for 
processing.  But this doesn't really solve anything.  I can drop 
into shell commands whenever I want to check I guess, though I'm 
not sure... how complete is zsh?  This may only be a feasible 
answer when I'm running under cygwin.  I seem to recall that on 
Friday when I tried to use `ls ...` in the same way that I used 
find today, it didn't work the way that I expected it to.  But 
that time I was running from WinRuby, so perhaps the shell 
environment was different than when I am running under CygWin. 
(I do remember that I was shocked when `dir ...` returned the 
information that dir wasn't a recognized command.)
