Hi,
I cannot find a way of initialising all items in a class as per this bit of
code.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class File_list
def initialize( row, name)
@row = row
@name = name
end
def name
@name
end
def row
@row
end
def ctime
@ctime = File.stat(@name).mtime
end
def dur
@dur = File.stat(@name).size/1700
end
def to_s
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
PROTECTED]"
end
end
z="/var/spool/voice/incoming/*.rmd"
files = Dir[z].sort_by { |f| [File.new(f).mtime, f] }
puts "File list sorted by time"
puts files
puts
a1 = File_list.new(1, files[0])
puts "Details of a1"
puts a1.to_s
puts " Duration in Seconds = "+ a1.dur.to_s
puts " Modification Time = "+ a1.ctime.to_s
puts a1.to_s
======================= EOF ==============
When I first call a1.to_s it only prints the row and name. Not until I call
a1.dur and a1.ctime individually will these two variables become initialised.
Is there any way to initialise these variables when I call File_list.new ?
Also is there a way to make this class into an array so as to hold a number of
rows?
