What you are looking for is basically a decompiler. Depending upon how the program was compiled, you can recover various pieces, but not necessarily everything.

I am using Ruby and Google Drive API.
How to create a folder in the root location?
A folder in Google Drive is essentially a file with MIME type application/vnd.google-apps.folder, so you can use the Ruby code in the Reference guide and set the mimeType field to that value.
Check the docs for the complete snippet:

I'm following a guide to Ruby programming, which requires me to create a new folder to use as my main programming library.
I ran into the problem where the Guide requires right-clicking in the folder and select NEW and from the NEW drop window choose an option to a new Ruby program.
The thing is, after installing Ruby and looking all over the net for answers, I cannot for the life of me figure out why that option does NOT APPEAR in the NEW section when right clicking to create documents etc. Can anyone help me get it to appear in the NEW menu?
Just create a new text file, and make it end in .rb. You can write your ruby code in that file.
