You're welcome!  Just another remark: it's been a while that I used the 
Windows version of Ruby (I work mostly on cygwin and Linux) but as far 
as I remember if you need those file names only internally (i.e. in the 
Ruby program) then the regular File.join will do as you can use forward 
and backward slashes.

Kind regards
