Hello,
Probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to get this to work. I can
create the file, but when I open it, it is blank...
create_log = File.new("sync_log_#{@date}.txt", "a")
puts "sync Log for #{Time.now}"
create_log.close
Does anybody know why? It should say "sync Log for (the date and time)"
yet I'm not getting anything...
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
- Jeff

Hi,
How about create_log.write "sync Log for #{Time.now}" instead? Try it.

1) 'create_log' is the type of name you would use for a method. It
implies action, i.e. 'creating' something. You would use something like
'log_file' for your variable name.
2) Calling the method puts without anything in front of it, e.g.
some_file.puts, means that you want to send the output to STDOUT, which
by default is your terminal. If you want to use puts on a file, you do
this:
log_file.puts(...)
3) write() is not equivalent to puts().
