    Dir

    Objects of class Dir are directory streams representing directories in the underlying file system. They provide a variety of ways to list directories and their contents. See also File.

    The directory used in these examples contains the two regular files (config.h and main.rb), the parent directory (..), and the directory itself (.).

    Public Class Methods

    Dir[ string [, string ...] [, base: path] ] → array click to toggle source

    Equivalent to calling Dir.glob([string,...], 0). 

     static VALUE
dir_s_aref(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
{
 VALUE opts, base;
 argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "*:", NULL, &opts);
 dir_glob_options(opts, &base, NULL);
 if (argc == 1) {
 return rb_push_glob(argv[0], base, 0);
 }
 return dir_globs(argc, argv, base, 0);
}
    chdir( [ string] ) → 0 click to toggle source
    chdir( [ string] ) {| path | block } → anObject

    Changes the current working directory of the process to the given string. When called without an argument, changes the directory to the value of the environment variable HOME, or LOGDIR. SystemCallError (probably Errno::ENOENT) if the target directory does not exist.

    If a block is given, it is passed the name of the new current directory, and the block is executed with that as the current directory. The original working directory is restored when the block exits. The return value of chdir is the value of the block. chdir blocks can be nested, but in a multi-threaded program an error will be raised if a thread attempts to open a chdir block while another thread has one open. 

    Dir.chdir("/var/spool/mail")
puts Dir.pwd
Dir.chdir("/tmp") do
 puts Dir.pwd
 Dir.chdir("/usr") do
 puts Dir.pwd
 end
 puts Dir.pwd
end
puts Dir.pwd

    produces: 

    /var/spool/mail
/tmp
/usr

    children( dirname ) → array click to toggle source
    children( dirname, encoding: enc ) → array

    Returns an array containing all of the filenames except for "." and ".." in the given directory. Will raise a SystemCallError if the named directory doesn't exist.

    The optional encoding keyword argument specifies the encoding of the directory. If not specified, the filesystem encoding is used.

    entries( dirname ) → array click to toggle source

     VALUE

    foreach( dirname, encoding: enc ) {| filename | block } → nil

    If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead. 

    Dir.foreach("testdir") {|x| puts "Got #{x}" }

     static VALUE
dir_s_getwd(VALUE dir)

 return rb_dir_getwd();
}
    glob( pattern, [flags], [base: path] ) → array click to toggle source
    glob( pattern, [flags], [base: path] ) { |filename| block } → nil

    Expands pattern, which is a pattern string or an of pattern strings, and returns an array containing the matching filenames. If a block is given, calls the block once for each matching filename, passing the filename as a parameter to the block.

    The optional base keyword argument specifies the base directory for interpreting relative pathnames instead of the current working directory. As the results are not prefixed with the base directory name in this case, you will need to prepend the base directory name if you want real paths.

    Note that the pattern is not a regexp, it's closer to a shell glob. See for the meaning of the flags parameter. Case sensitivity depends on your system (File::FNM_CASEFOLD is ignored), as does the order in which the results are returned.

    *

    Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob. Equivalent to / .* /mx in regexp.

    *

    Matches all files

    c*

    Matches all files beginning with c

    *c

    Matches all files ending with c

    *c*

    Match all files that have c in them (including at the beginning or end).

    Note, this will not match Unix-like hidden files (dotfiles). In order to include those in the match results, you must use the File::FNM_DOTMATCH flag or something like "{*,.*}".

    **

    Matches directories recursively.

    ?

    Matches any one character. Equivalent to /.{1}/ in regexp.

    [set]

    Matches any one character in set. Behaves exactly like character sets in , including set negation ([^a-z]).

    {p,q}

    Matches either literal p or literal q. Equivalent to pattern alternation in regexp.

    Matching literals may be more than one character in length. More than two literals may be specified.

    \

    Escapes the next metacharacter.

    Note that this means you cannot use backslash on windows as part of a glob, i.e. Dir["c:\foo*"] will not work, use Dir["c:/foo*"] instead.

    Examples: 

    Dir["config.?"] #=> ["config.h"]
Dir.glob("config.?") #=> ["config.h"]
Dir.glob("*.[a-z][a-z]") #=> ["main.rb"]
Dir.glob("*.[^r]*") #=> ["config.h"]
Dir.glob("*.{rb,h}") #=> ["main.rb", "config.h"]
Dir.glob("*") #=> ["config.h", "main.rb"]
Dir.glob("*", File::FNM_DOTMATCH) #=> [".", "..", "config.h", "main.rb"]
Dir.glob(["*.rb", "*.h"]) #=> ["main.rb", "config.h"]

Dir.glob(rbfiles) #=> ["main.rb",
 # "lib/song.rb",
 # "lib/song/karaoke.rb"]

    Seeks to a particular location in dir. integer must be a value returned by Dir#tell. 

    d = Dir.new("testdir") #=> #<Dir:0x401b3c40>
d.read #=> "."
i = d.tell #=> 12
d.read #=> ".."
d.seek(i) #=> #<Dir:0x401b3c40>
d.read #=> ".."

     static VALUE
dir_seek(VALUE dir, VALUE pos)
{
 struct dir_data *dirp;
 long p = NUM2LONG(pos);
 GetDIR(dir, dirp);
 seekdir(dirp->dir, p);
 return dir;
}
    tell → integer click to toggle source

    Returns the current position in dir. See also Dir#seek. 

    d = Dir.new("testdir")
d.tell #=> 0
d.read #=> "."
d.tell #=> 12

     static VALUE
dir_tell(VALUE dir)
{
 struct dir_data *dirp;
 long pos;
 GetDIR(dir, dirp);
 pos = telldir(dirp->dir);
 return rb_int2inum(pos);
}
    to_path → string or nil click to toggle source

    Returns the path parameter passed to dir's constructor. 

    d = Dir.new("..")
d.path #=> ".."

     static VALUE
dir_path(VALUE dir)
{
 struct dir_data *dirp;
 TypedData_Get_Struct(dir, struct dir_data, &dir_data_type, dirp);
 if (NIL_P(dirp->path)) return Qnil;
 return rb_str_dup(dirp->path);
}
