      I have a directory tree some like this:
      C:\MyDir
      -SubDir1/SubDir1.txt
      -SubDir2/SubDir2.txt
      -SubDir3/SubDir3.txt

      As you see, in each directory I have a ".txt" file with same name as directory which contains it. What I want is to parse each fie in each directory, but I want to eliminate "." and ".." because there is not a "..txt" or "...txt" file, and my algorithm searches for it.

      
      path = 'C;\MyDir'	
      dirList = Dir.entries(path)
      
      dirList.each do |dir|
      
      	file_name = dir+'.txt'
      	file_path = File.join(path, file_name)
      	file = File.open(file_path, 'r')
      	
      		f.each_line do |line|
      		puts line
      		end
      end
      
      

      In this state, the interpreter gives me this error: (eval):1258:ininitialize': No such file or directory - C:\MyDir/..txt`
      And I totally agree with it πŸ˜„

        This will cope with files in a folder or its sub-folders...
        It avoids the ./.. files...

        
          path='C;\MyDir'
          Dir.foreach(path){|f|
            if f=='.' or f=='..'
              ### skip ./..
            elsif File.directory?(path+"/"+f)
              Dir.foreach(path+"/"+f){|ff|
                if ff=='.' or ff=='..'
                  ### skip ./..
                else ###==file inside the sub-folder...
                  ### maybe do stuff to File(path+"/"+f+"/"+ff)
                  ### e.g. "if ff=~/\.txt$/ do this"... pseudo-coded !!!
                end#if
              }
              ### maybe do stuff to Dir(path+"/"+f)
            else ###==file inside the folder
              ### maybe do stuff to File(path+"/"+f)
            end#if
          }
