Subject: [ruby-talk:6949] Dir.sort(somedir) ?



I just started experimenting with Ruby tonight and have written a
decent sized program in just a few hours.

I have a question though.  I currently do a loop through all the files
in a directory using the following (I like Ruby's iterators, btw):

  Dir.foreach(thisdir) {
    |filename|
    # do stuff with filename
  }

How can I change this so that it iterates through the alphabetically
sorted directory?

If I could get the directory into an array, I think I could sort it
using arrayname.sort and then iterate through it.  However, I don't
even know how to do that.

Thanks in advance,
