Check if a file exists using a wildcard

Question

In Ruby, how can I check if a file exists using a wildcard?

Apparently this does not seem to work:

File.exists?("/folderOfFile/Filename*.ext")

Answer 1

Your wildcard would refer to a set of files, not a single file. You could use Dir::glob for this:

!Dir.glob('/folderOfFile/Filename*.ext').empty?
