Small Ruby script to generate a Notepad++ workspace from a path recursively.

    paths.select{ |path| !File.directory? path }.sort.each do |file|
        puts indent+'<File name="'+file+'" />'
    end

    paths.select{ |path| File.directory? path }.sort.each do |directory|
        filename = File.basename(directory)
        puts indent+'<Folder name="'+filename+'">'
        scan_path directory, indent+'    '
