Yes. I was oblivious to File.basename which was exactly what I was 
looking for. Thank you for pushing me in the right direction!

But I was not waste of time! I twas gathering cases for file ops. IT's 
easy! 8)

Here's what I got, minimal case plan
- Open file
- Create file that doesn't exist, open
- Save file
- Overwrite file
- Dir doesnt exist, create
- get filename from path str (file.basename).
- get the sub dir file is ("deepest" dir)
- remove dbl slashes (etc crap).
- nonrelative dir (remove /dir1/../dir1/ etc.)

I was looking for guide covering these on google. Didn't find one. I 
guess I will have to write a micro guide to these. 8)
