Why does the third one not work as expected?  It appears that=20
Dir.foreach will not work with patterns...

#!/usr/bin/ruby

s =3D "/etc/host*"

#1
l =3D Dir[s]=20
p l

#2
Dir.foreach("/etc") { |d|   p d }

#3
Dir.foreach(s) { |d|  p d }

#4
# This is wasteful
l =3D Dir[s]
l.each { |f| p f }

=2D-=20

There is no good nor evil, just power.
