Subject: problem with ".scan"

RUBY's complaining about the following 3 lines of code. I've got it in a 
new program, but, I copied it directly from an older, working program. 
Can someone help me understand what's the problem with the "scan" line, 
or, apparently, the "each" line?

Thanks,
Peter


10  Dir.glob("*.ps").each do |psfile|
11    file_contents = File.read(psfile)
12    file_contents.scan(/\%\%Pages: (\d{1,5})[ ]+\n/) do

Error message:

E:/PageCounts/test1.rb:12:in `scan': string modified (RuntimeError)
	from E:/PageCounts/test1.rb:12
	from E:/PageCounts/test1.rb:10:in `each'
	from E:/PageCounts/test1.rb:10
