How to create a file in Ruby

Question

I\'m trying to create a new file and things don\'t seem to be working as I expect them too. Here\'s what I\'ve tried:

File.new \"out.txt\"
File.open \"out.tx         


        

Answer 1

Try using "w+" as the write mode instead of just "w":

File.open("out.txt", "w+") { |file| file.write("boo!") }
