Hello all, I am new to Ruby etc. etc. (all the usual disclaimer about how i can not code in Ruby yet etc), so probably because of this i was not able to find something like myFile.basename resp myFile.anything_which_returns_a_sensible_filename_like_string and not File.basename(myFile) which i find too verbose for Ruby. By browsing the reference part of the PickAxe 2nd ed, i did not find any alternative to File.basename. Can somebody help me with this? Thx, Peter
