Saving files to harddrive

ruby-talk
1

I'm wondering if it's possible to save a file to a harddrive with Ruby. I've googled it a few times but I never
get what I need. I know I can 'write' to a file, but it doesn't actually write to it on the harddrive, just during
that instance.

If anyone knows whether or not this is possible, that'd be great.

Thanks,

Of course

$ irb

text = "Hello world\n"

=> "Hello world\n"

File.open("mytestfile.txt", "w") { |f| f.write(text) }

=> 12

exit

$ cat mytestfile.txt
Hello World
$

That is "saving a file"
