Subject: Copying all Files with New Name

Hi,
This forum has already been very helpful , Many Thanks.

Problem: I actually want to copy the contents of all files that is in a
particular directory into a new directory.The new files should be of a
specific size (2MB)and each with a new name (randomly assigned).

My Current Code looks,

require 'ftools'
testdir = "K:/test"
# Iterating over each entry
Dir.entries(testdir).each do |file|

# Joining the path where the files are

   path = File.join testdir, file
           if File.file? path

          File.open path
          File.copy(file,'K:/t1') # NOTE: t1 file doesn't exist assuming
will create itself? probably wrong

      end
     end
   end

When simply trying to copy using File.copy(to,from) it gives following
error message "No such file or directory K:/"

Do you think this approach is completely wrong and I should try
creating File.new and reading every single line and copying over?

Any suggestions about giving random names for the new files..?

Many Thanks,
