Subject: Re: Copying files and renaming dupes

I have stepped back from this code for a while and I am still stuck.

My thinking is

1. read source data set
2. if item in source matches criteria
3. move that file to target if a file with that name doesnt already 
exist in target
4. if a file does exist with the same name in target rename the file 
with a sequential number eg test[1].txt
5. then move the file to target

This is the relevant code I have

Find.find(dir) do |path|
  if File.extname(path) == ".txt"
    sourceFile.push File.basename(path)
    sourceFile.each do |source|
      if File.file?(path) and File.basename(path) != source
        File.move(path, culled)
      elsif
       File.move(path, temp)
       File.rename(tmp, "tester.exe")
       File.move(temp, target)
      end
    end
  end
end

This just doesn't do anything, not even error.

Thanks in advance.
