Subject: eccentric filenames

Hi,

I can't seem to get around this little problem.  I have an array with "test 
#01.txt", and "test #02.txt".  These strings represent filenames.  I want 
to use these filenames for a command to be passed to be executed via 
system(), for example, to cat these two files into a third file named "test 
#03.txt"


I tried the following:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

class Array
  def dump
    collect { |i|
      i.dump
    }
  end
end

arry = ["test #01.txt", "test #02.txt"]

system ("cat #{arry.dump.join(" ")} > \"test #02.txt\"")
</code>

Can someone offer an elegant solution?

Thanks,
Le
