Subject: Re: Create a new file name by appending timestamp to origina

From: Sunny Bogawat [mailto:sunny_bogawat@neovasolutions.com] 
# i want  attaches a timestamps to file for this i doing 
# Time.now_filename 
# but it gives error because time has a space sum it so i need some 
# another mechanism using which i generate timestamps and attached to 
# timestamps.

pardon me if i do not get you right here, but do you want something like this, eg?

system "dir *testing.rb"
01/31/2003  05:55 PM                 4 testing.rb
               1 File(s)              4 bytes
#=> true

require 'fileutils'
#=> true

FileUtils.mv f, [Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S"),f].join("_")
#=> 0

system "dir *testing.rb"
01/31/2003  05:55 PM                 4 2008-05-07-173139_testing.rb
               1 File(s)              4 bytes
#=> true
