How can I move a file with Ruby?

I want to move a file with Ruby. How can I do that?

Solution

  • You can use FileUtils to do this.

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'fileutils'

FileUtils.mv('/tmp/your_file', '/opt/new/location/your_file')

    Remember; if you are moving across partitions, "mv" will copy the file to new destination and unlink the source path.
