(Rake 0.4.3, anyway) Well, exclude should return a list of strings (actually a list of file names). The type of list it returns is a FileList. And since FileList acts a lot like an array (through the magic of DuckTyping), returning the file list object *is* returning an array of strings ... it's just not an Array of strings. -- -- Jim Weirich jim / weirichhouse.org http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)
