Iterate through every file in one directory

Question

How do I write a loop in ruby so that I can execute a block of code on each file?

I\'m new to ruby, and I\'ve concluded that the way to do this is a do each loop.

Answer 1

Dir.foreach("/home/mydir") do |fname|
  puts fname
end

Answer 2

The find library is designed for this task specifically: https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.1/libdoc/find/rdoc/Find.html

require 'find'
Find.find(path) do |file|
  # process
end

This is a standard ruby library, so it should be available
