Another possible option might be something like:

Dir.glob("#{INDIR}/*").each do |filename|
  File.open(filename, "r") do |file|
    #...
  end
end

glob does return the full path to the file.

Or, possibly something like this could work:

Dir.chdir(INDIR) do
  Dir.foreach(".") do |filename|
    #...
  end
end
