Subject: WMI usage in Ruby to get file size, beginners question

Hello,
sorry if the question is so stupid as I assume.
I try to get the size of a file by using wmi (because I want to collect
the size of various files on Microsoft boxes all over the network
later).

I try:

require 'win32ole'
mgmt = WIN32OLE.connect("winmgmts:\\\\.")
fiNa=mgmt.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM CIM_DataFile WHERE Name =
'c:\\test.txt'")
fiNa.each {|fn| puts fn.FileSize.to_s}

I do not get any error message but also no output. So I think I do
something wrong with the wmi handling. I messed arround the whole day
and now I run out of ideas. It would be great if you could help me.
Thanks in advance,
bye
