Hello, Right now I need in an application to recurse from the current dir to the root dir in ruby. that means eg /home/emmanuel/test, /home/emmanuel, /home, /. I've been quick to write a Dir.up!() method (i was surprised it's not standard?), however i'm having trouble with the Dir.root?() one. Of course on UNIX it would be pwd == "/" and that's done, but on windows that's another story... with c:, a: and network drives (\\mycomputer\mydrive\mydir)... I'm quite sure somebody already did that in ruby? I don't have a windows computer around at home so it would be hell to get right.. TIA, emmanuel -- "Stop the world, I want to hop off!" --Guy Bedos
