As cvs CLI lacks a recursive flag for add command, i have to add all new folders and files separately in a spaceseparated list, i.e. cvs add ./subfolder1 ./subfolder1/subsub1 ./subfolder1/subsub1/subsub.txt so i have to calculate all new files. i have tried to get the new files with = def copy_dir(dir) updfiles=Array.new Dir.glob("#{dir}/**/*[^coinfo.txt].*").each do | i | if not File.exist?("#{CVSWORKSPACE}/#{i}") puts "new file detected ==> #{i}" end end end but i get = new file detected ==> Y:/test_deploy/4804/subfolder7/subsub7/bla.txt new file detected ==> Y:/test_deploy/4804/subfolder7/subsub7/subsubsub7/subsubsub7.txt new file detected ==> Y:/test_deploy/4804/subfolder7/subsub6/subsub6.txt new file detected ==> Y:/test_deploy/4804/subfolder7/subsub6/subsubsub6/subsubsub6.txt means the whole path, where i would need the space separated list like that = /subfolder7 /subfolder7/subsub7 /subfolder7/subsub7/bla.txt ... How to achieve that ? As i use the FileUtils.cp_r method later = doesn't this method not already know internally which files are new ? Regards, Gilbert
