I use this code to write to a file: File.new(@FILE_NAME,"w"). If the
file name doesn't exist, I will get "No such file" error. How can I
create the file if it doesn't exist?
thanks.

I cannot reproduce this behavior. Did you make sure that the directory exists where you want to create your file? In case not you probably want to have a look at FileUtils.mkdir_p:

It could be that the operating system is unable to create a file with
that file name. For instance on Windows:
C:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> @FILE_NAME = "."
=> "."
irb(main):002:0> File.new(@FILE_NAME, "w")
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - .
from (irb):2:in `initialize'
from (irb):2:in `new'
from (irb):2
This could be a particular problem when using international character
sets.

The directory doesn't exist, that's the problem.
thanks.
