thanks for your reply, I believe i understand, however I dont know how to make C:\Program Files\@Last Software\SketchUp 5\Materials the current directory in the program. Or how to make an option where the user can type in, or browse to their own directory. But on the string answer of your question: img.each do |img| p img end Does that mean that p will be a variable that will hold all the image names? thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
