From: Justin To Date: 2008-06-22T01:11:34+09:00 Subject: Re: File question Thanks for the detailed explanation Bryan. I've figured out how to use it now, but I'm still stuck on how to check for the latest file: For instance, some_file.2008-06-02.csv some_file.2008-06-03.csv Now I want to traverse the folder and open up the latter file. If it is a viable solution, is there a command that returns the most recent file with the name pattern "some_file.\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}.csv" Thanks so much! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
