Write to File in Ruby
Used to write to a file.
Syntax
output_file = open(file_name, 'w') #creating the file object
#can be done as many times as needed, no newline added automatically
output_file.write(content)
output_file.write("\n")
output_file.close Notes
When opening the file, 'w' specifies write mode.
The base path is the path of the source file.
Example
sc_funfacts = File.open('syntaxcenter_funfacts.txt', 'w')
sc_funfacts.write("Did you know that SyntaxCenters framework is Ruby on Rails?")
sc_funfacts.write("\n")
sc_funfacts.write("Actually, learning Ruby on Rails was one of the motivations behind this project!")
sc_funfacts.write("\n")
sc_funfacts.close
