Subject: Files management with Ruby

Hi there

I am trying to build a script that does the following. Say there are two
directories A and B. In A, there is the file called "Today". In
directory B there are the files called "Today1", "Today2", "otherFile".
I want to loop through directory A, open the file called "Today" and
append all the files in Directory B that have the word "Today" in their
file name.

So where I am at is, I am trying to write a method first to just loop
through Directory A and just add some text to the file called "Today".
This is not working below. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Much appreciated

def append_data_to_daily_files
       Dir.entries('A').each do |file|
         next if !(file.match(/today/))
         File.open(file, 'w') {|file|
         file.write("hello")
         file.close}
     end
   end
