Subject: Ruby Regex

I am new too using regex on files and I am not quite getting the
result I expect. The script currently doesn't error but also doesn't
update the file either.

Trying to remove leading numbers and ' - 'from the start of a filename
given a directory.

require 'fileutils'

def cleanFiles()
  dir = 'C:\Users\RenshawFamily\maven\Music\Foo Fighters\Live At
Wembley Stadium'
  # add files to array unless a directoy is found
  myFiles = Array.new << File.split(dir) unless File.file?("")
  # Todo when files process step into directory and redo.
  myFiles.each do|file|
    # remove leading numbers a "-"
    file.replace(/dd\-/, '')
    Fileutils.mv(myFile, file)
  end
end
