Ruby creating directories in a loop

[ballouta]

Hi

I am frustrated from this simple task, I've been testing this script for two hours trying to find the problem but no luck!

 

 

My script reads a command line argument(ARGV[0]), then creates a directory named as #{ARGV[0]},

then it reads the DATA object (after the __END__ which looks below), and create those directories inside ARGV[0]

 

__END__
app/views/layouts
app/models
app/controllers
config
db
doc
lib
public/javascripts
public/stylesheets
public/images
log

 

 

note that I am using Notpad++ and i have EOL set to UNIX, so it is NOT supposed to cause any \n troubles

My script  creates what looks like directories, i can see them in my FTP but I can't delete any!

when I asked my instructor about it, he said, review your code, lib (directory) is NOT like lib?

 

so I am wondering where did the question mark come from?

also note that I do NOT see ?  when i use SSH client or FTP!

i had to run another script to delete these weird directories

 

this is my script

require 'fileutils'
include FileUtils

	if ARGV.empty?
	  puts "__________________________________________ _ _"
	  puts " "
	  puts "USAGE: ruby script/generate.rb Your_Site_Name"
	  puts "__________________________________________ _ _"


	elsif Dir.exists?("/home/students/myname/public_html/cis113/#{ARGV[0]}")
		puts "This directory already exist!"
		puts "Would you like to use the existing directory (Y/N)?"
			#I need help with this part later

	 #read DATA and create directories
	else
		Dir.mkdir("/home/students/myname/public_html/cis113/#{ARGV[0]}")
		DATA.each do |line|
			FileUtils.mkpath ("/home/students/myname/public_html/cis113/#{ARGV[0]}/#{line}")
		end
		
	end	

help is highly appreciated
