Subject: Re: Passing folder as argument ARGV?

What os are you using? Here is one way to get things to work on OSX or
Linux. First the script

--- fred.rb ---
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

p ARGV

[~]$ ./fred.rb Projects/
["Projects/"]

[~]$ ./fred.rb Projects/*
["Projects/fredkin.bas", "Projects/parsepng.pl", "Projects/visible_xml.xslt"]

It all comes down to how you call it. This does assume that the files
you want are all in the directory you specify and not in directories
inside the directory given in the argument. Also OSX and Linux will
complain if there are too many files.
