Hi,

Try something like this

d = Dir.open('/user/path/Documents')
d.entries.sort
=> [ ".", "..", "doc1", "doc2", etc ]

for some reason block processing is counter intuitive here
this code does not work

e = Dir.open('/user/path/Documents')
e.entries.sort {|file| puts file }
=> warning: multiple values for a block parameter (2 for 1)

Regards,

joe

Subject: Find.find --- returns directories/files backwards

New user question:

It seems to me when I run:
Find.find('/user/name/documents') {|path| puts path}

it returns all the directories in the reverse order.  I was expecting
the directories to be returned in alphabetical order, but that doesn't
seem to be the case.  Also, in one case it reads half of a directory's
files, then the sub dirs and then it finished reading the rest of the
directory it started in and finished writing them in the Puts
statement.

Am I missing something? How do you do get it to write out the
directories in alphabetical order?

Any and all help welcome.

Thank you.

Brad
