Many Thanks for replying robert, It makes sense what you have said.
I think it would be a lot easier if I just explain my end goal. I think 
my approach is probably wrong. This is what I want to achieve,

"Processing every single file that is  in a particular directory"

My current approach is ,

1. Getting all files from a Directory using ab 
=Dir.open("K:/test/").entries
2. Iterating over each file that is in the directory by doing;
        ab.each do |f|
3. Applying "File.open" method (with required permission) to every 
single 'file' by doing,
        ab.each do |f|
        File.Open(f,"w+") do |readfile|

4. Finally manipulating/processing each file line by line.

But what you said makes sense it looks like Dir.Open().entries doesn't 
return a "file object" that can be manipulated it rather returns a 
string (file name only).
Do you have any idea how this can be addressed?

Sorry to be a pain... new to Ruby!

Many Thanks,
