Thanks, it almost worked now! But this is getting weirder by the minute...

On my other computer, running Win95 and Ruby 1.6.2 mingw32
version, I can do this:

 IO.popen("dir").each_line {|line| print line if line =~ /\.rb[^~]/ }

and get the desired result, and if I replace it with

 IO.popen("command.com /c dir").each_line {|line|
   print line if line =~ /\.rb[^~]/ }

it works exactly the same. So far, so good...


But example 1 refuses to work on _this_ computer, running
Win98 and Ruby 1.6.2 cygwin version:

 test2.rb:1: command not found: dir

And example 2 acts even more strange; the command is found,
but the output never seems to "pass through" my program,
i e all the files in the dir are printed out...

Is this a cygwin<-->mingw32 issue, a Win95<-->Win98 issue,
or both? (...or none?)
