Find the file in the folder with specific end in ruby

Question

I have many files in the folder, such as mp4, mov, avi files. But I have to find files that are end with "_college.mp4".

I tried following way

File.exists?("#{temp_dir}/*_college.mp4")

But I not worked. How can I do this in ruby.

You should use Dir::glob method :

Dir.glob("#{temp_dir}/*_college.mp4")

@ArupRakshit answered perfectly. I would like to add:

You can even use the shorthand Dir[] for #glob shorthand:

Dir["#{temp_dir}/*_college.mp4"]
