What needs to be changed with the following?

require 'fileutils'

original_path, target_path =
  'D:/Stuff/Ruby/', 'C:/new'

ignore_folder = 'D:\Stuff\Ruby\2'
copy_files = Dir["#{original_path}/**/*.*"].reject do |file_path|
  file_path.start_with? ignore_folder
end

Many thanks for your help once again
