Subject: Re: directory watcher, trying to match filename to directory name.

> dw = DirectoryWatcher.new "#{@dirwatch}", :interval => 5, :glob => "*/*", :pre_load => true
dw = DirectoryWatcher.new "#{@dirwatch}", :interval => 5, :glob =>
"*/Bob*", :pre_load => true

From the documentation:
File Selection
The directory watcher uses glob patterns to select the files to scan.
The default glob pattern will select all regular files in the
directory of interest ’*’.
Here are a few useful glob examples:
    '*'               => all files in the current directory
    '**/*'            => all files in all subdirectories
    '**/*.rb'         => all ruby files
    'ext/**/*.{h,c}'  => all C source code files

Regards,
David
