From: Terry Michaels Date: 2010-10-16T13:50:30+09:00 Subject: Most elegant way: array of files from array of directories I have a array of directories passed into my program. I want a new array which is a list of all files in said directories (only one level deep is necessary). N.B.: 1. Each elements of the new array must be an absolute (full) path, or at least relative to the cwd. (Assume all directories provided are also absolute or relative to cwd) 2. OS and preference agnostic: Especially, I do not know what directory separator will be used (say, backward- or forward-slash) or whether there will be a trailing directory separator in the directory path (say, a trailing forward-slash). Dir.foreach almost does what I want, but gives relative output instead of absolute. array_of_file_paths = Array.new array_of_directory_paths.each do |directory_path| # ??? end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
