You should be able to make something out of:

   - Dir#glob (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Dir.html#M002347)
   - String#sub (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/String.html#M000831)
   - String#gsub (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/String.html#M000832)

The code is left as an exercise for the reader.  :)
