From: "Giovanni Alverà" Date: 2011-02-14T23:51:25+09:00 Subject: program to rename files : improvements Hello, I wrote a program to rename files in a user-defined directory. The program lets you choose the directory, type in some "Entries" the strings to replace and the related strings to replace with. Then when I click the "Start" button the program perform the replacements. This is my first program in Ruby and I am trying to improve it (e.g make it faster & well coded) do you have any suggestions? Especially 1) the "Select Directory" FileChooserDialog does not quit when I click on the "Cancel" Button and it quits only the 2nd time I ckick the "X" button on the top of the window. 2) is there a way to fill up faster the hash with the strings to replace? (e.g. a loop) I hope you understand my english :) Thank you, Giovanni Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/5904/giovis_rename.txt http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/5905/giovis_rename_Screenshot.png -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
