The Dir.glob command will help you find folders that start with a
particular letter. The File.stat command will help you determine the
creation / modification times of those folders and whether or not they
are folders at all.

The documentation for these items can be found on the Ruby-doc website.

Have fun learning Ruby! Ruby has taught me more about programming
than any other language out there. The community is simply wonderful,
too.
