I tested it in a directory that didn't have hidden files or directories, so didn't note that. --=20 Michael T.

The above has a small bug: it rejects all hidden di=
rectories. If you 
want to block only ".." and "."=
, then change it to:



	dirs =3D Dir.entries(".").reject{|e| /\.=
{1,2}$/ =3D~ e}.find_all{|e|
		File.directory? e}
Ah.  That is true.  I tested it in a directory that didn't have h= idden files or directories, so didn't note that.
