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
