File.addmod?

[Roger Pack]

I'm familiar with
File.chmod 0777 filename

however, anybody know the equivalent to "chmod u+r filename" from the
command line--but in ruby?
Thanks!

-r

File.class_eval do
def self.addmod(flags, filename)
themode=stat(filename).mode | flags
chmod(themode, filename)
end
end

Although there's no error checking and the return value could probably
be something better (like themode).

So after defining that, your 'u+r' would be:
File.addmod(0200, 'filename')

the equivalent to "chmod u+r filename" [...] in ruby?

I filed a feature request for symbolic mode ('u+r') support
in FileUtils::chmod() and FileUtils::chmod_R() methods here:

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2190

Cheers.
