If I understand you well the script should look like this:

outfile = ARGV.shift

lines = ARGF.readlines

nyomtatvanyazonosito, nev, adoszam, adoazonosito, tol, ig =  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lines.slice!(0,6).map {|w| w.chomp.chomp(';') }  
first\_six\_data = \<\<-EOT  
'\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?\>'  
'\<nyomtatvanyinformacio\>'

'\<nyomtatvanyazonosito\>'#{nyomtatvanyazonosito}'\</nyomtatvanyazonosito\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<adozo\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<nev\>'#{nev}'\</nev\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<adoszam\>'#{adoszam}'\</adoszam\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<adoazonosito\>'#{adoazonosito}'\</adoazonosito\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\</adozo\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<idoszak\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<tol\>'#{tol}'\</tol\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<ig\>'#{ig}'\</ig\>'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'\</idoszak\>'  
'\</nyomtatvanyinformacio\>'  
'\<mezok\>'  
EOT

marked\_up\_lines = lines.map do |line|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;words = line.split  
&nbsp;&nbsp;'\<mezo eazon="' + words[0] + '"\>' + words[1] + '\</mezo\>' + "\n"  
end

File.open(outfile,'w') do |file|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;file.write marked\_up\_lines.join  
end

But if i run it so in the ouput only the things after the first six  
lines appear....

Why the quotes here? The string is everything between the line following "\<\<-EOT" and "EOT". See [Ruby Syntax](http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ruby-doc-bundle/Manual/man-1.4/syntax.html#here_doc)

[...]

> File.open(outfile,'w') do |file|

# You forgot to write the variable first\_six\_data here.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;file.write first\_six\_data

> &nbsp;&nbsp;file.write marked\_up\_lines.join

# And here probably you need to write  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;file.write "\</...\>\</...\>\</...\>"
