Subject: Re: Do arrays use up alot of memory space?

# hmmm, would combining the arrays be feasible if i were to add on more 
# values to the either of the arrays?

i zipped it because,
1. i was too lazy to retype it again
2. i knew it would work since your arrays are one-to-one on each other

# > sd_a.each do |sd|

# >   puts "Source: #{src}"
# >   puts "Dest:   #{destination}"

# 
# This command runs an error because the value of src is 
# "C:/movtest/test/2008*" and it doesnt recognise this wildcard but 
# instead looks for the file which has the name 2008*.
# so i tried to chang it alil:

no problem, just do 

  FileUtils.cp Dir.glob(src), destination

that should work because i just tested it here :)
