Subject: Re: How to use the Dir class, search for a sub directroy


Thanks for your reply, I had read the doc but could not get it to work
This is what I wound up doing and it does work.

Dir.chdir("e:/foldertest")
artist = 'Abba'
artist_check = Dir.glob("#{artist}", File::FNM_CASEFOLD)
puts artist_check
  if "#{artist}" != "#{artist_check}"
      puts "no match found"
  else puts "found match"
  end
