Do Not Echo File Operations

Question

I have a Ruby script that I'm running in PowerShell (via Rake) which contains a number of operations from FileUtils. (Things like cp, cp_r, etc.) It seems that anything within FileUtils has its command echoed to the screen when it's executed. I've looked around but haven't found a way to turn this off. Is there a way to not echo anything to the screen?

You should be able to set this in the options hash in FileUtils by specifying :verbose => false

Edit: If you're running rake it has its own FileUtils extension you should be able to do this directly, try adding this to RakeFile..

Rake::FileUtilsExt.verbose(false)

From looking at the source, it appears verbose is false by default – Michael Papile Jan 21 '13 at 16:07
That did the trick, thanks! (Answer will be accepted as soon as SO's waiting period elapses.) – David Jan 21 '13 at 16:11
