# So this is in my controller:

@items = Dir.glob("views/*/*")

# Its contents look like this:

# views/controls/actions.haml
# views/controls/buttons.haml
# views/controls/formForge.haml
# views/controls/hide-actions.haml
# views/controls/index.haml
# views/controls/navigation.haml
# views/controls/tree.haml
# views/dialogs/browser.haml
# views/dialogs/dialogBox.haml

# My view contains this:

- if @items
  - @items.each do |item|
    - name = item.gsub(/views\/.+\/(.+).haml/, '\1')
      - if name != "index"
        %p do some stuff


# That worked fine until now, when I want to also exclude names that start with 'hide-'.

# Suggestions thus far (based on my limited cues) have not worked and looked something like these:
!@items.grep(/hide-.+/).empty?
@items.select{|x| !x.match(/hide-.+/)} 

# And I started with something like
unless %w["index", /hide-.+/].include? name

# Any of all of my code above is certainly rubbish. Feel free to make suggestions to fix other stuff too ;)
