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

If the objective is just to create a file, the most direct way I see is:

 FileUtils.touch "foobar.txt"
