Subject: File.basename problems

Why is it that File.basename works for me for one single file, but, it
doesn't work for an array of files. Here's an example of what worked for
me for one file; then, it didn't work for multiple files.

Thanks,
Peter


file    = "va998.tif"
pdffile = File.basename(file, ".tif") + ".pdf"
puts "#{file}   #{pdffile}"

   yields:
   va998.tif   va998.pdf


Dir.glob("*.tif").each do |tiffile|
pdffile = File.basename(tiffile, ".tif") + ".pdf"
puts "#{tiffile}   #{pdffile}"
end

   yields:

   va992.tif   va992.tif.pdf
   va993.tif   va993.tif.pdf
   va994.tif   va994.tif.pdf
   ...
