  test.to_s is a single string containing the concatenation of all the
names of the files in the "Amber Copy" directory. See:

irb(main):001:0> t = [1,2]
=> [1, 2]
irb(main):002:0> t.to_s
=> "12"
irb(main):003:0> t.to_s.each do |a| p a end
"12"
=> "12"

  Indeed ;-) ! Removing the unnecessary to_s should do the trick. Cheers,
