s in Learn to program and there are a couple of pages that deal with the Fi=

Easiest way is to open a file for writing and with a block write the =
contents to it.

File.open("test_file.txt", "a+") do |file| #opens the file =
"test_file.txt" in append mode, if it does not exist it creates it.
file.puts "Hello world"
end #closes the file for you=20

Otherway is to use File.new but that forces you to ensure to close the =
file etc.=20
