Using RubyGems

[Abder-rahman Ali]

What does (find) in require 'find' do?

Yes, it is a gem. So, I think I can find it here: http://rubygems.org/.
But, can anyone tell me how to use that and find information on gems
here. Just new to that actually.

Thanks.

It tells Ruby to process the contents of the file called "find.rb" in
the load path.

No, it's not a gem. It's part of the standard library. Documentation
is available on your system vi ri (ri Find) or online at
http://ruby-doc.org or various other places.

Ben,

Thanks for your reply. So, the "Function" of 'find' is just simply
searching files in a folder?

Thanks.

It allows you to recursively find files in a directory, yes.
