Do you have a list of file names and want to rename every existing file with that name? Also I don't see the purpose of the variables. Why don't you do the "directory translation" when it's needed rather than cluttering the program with variables? By the way: That's what arrays or hashes are for. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
