Hi all, This is just a quick announcement to let y'all know that I've released ptools 1.1.1 today. What is it? =========== Power tools for the File class. Additional methods include which, whereis, head, tail, middle, wc, null, nl_convert, touch and binary?. What's new? =========== This release adds the File.null and File.binary? methods. The former returns the null device on your system The latter returns whether or not the file in question is a binary file (using a simple best-guess algorithm). Where is it? ============ You can get it via gems, the RAA or RubyForge. gem install ptools http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ptools/ http://rubyforge.org/projects/shards/ Enjoy! - Dan PS - I forgot to put the dependency in the gem, but Windows users will need win32-file-stat. If you're using the latest one-click installer, you've already got it. This communication is the property of Qwest and may contain confidential or privileged information.
