Hi all, I just found out that the following code yields the directory listing in reverse alphanumerical order on Snow Leopard (10.6.1). This is with the out-of-the-box ruby install. require 'find' Find.find '/Library/Preferences/' do |x| puts x end On MacOSX 10.5 Leopard, it yielded the listing in either default system order, or alphanumerical order, I don't remember. Is it expected behaviour and what can I do to restore the previous one? thanks Raphaƫl -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
