From: tamouse mailing lists Date: 2013-02-02T13:10:05+09:00 Subject: Re: Dir.glob problem Part of the confusion may be what "glob" is doing. "glob" is a term inherited from *nix shells, which often have some terse, strange terms for things. While Dir.glob inherits some of the conventions, it also expands on them. The basic premise, however, remains the same: return things that match what I give, substituting where wild cards are placed.
