Subject: need help with recursion

Hi,

I was just trying to replace the underscores I get when using files from 
my Linux-friends, but somehow my code seems to be corrupt.
The code runs fine without the recursion, so it must be something wrong 
in those three lines, but I do not know what :-(
The "under_score.txt" is my testobject.
I am using: Ruby 1.8.0, Windows XP
Any help would be great.

greetings, BXS


This is my code:

class FileHandling
	def noRecursiveUnderscore(basedirectory)
		Dir::foreach(basedirectory){ |filename|
		if File.stat(filename).file?
			newname = filename.gsub("_", " ")
			File.rename(filename, newname)
		end
		if File.stat(filename).directory? and filename != "." and filename != ".."
			noRecursiveUnderscore(filename)
		end
		}
	end

end #class

testDir = FileHandling.new()
testDir.noRecursiveUnderscore(Dir.getwd)


**** This is my errormessage ****
