A Ruby write to file example

# open and write to a file with ruby
open('myfile.out', 'w') do |f|
  f.puts "Hello, world."
end

# an alternative approach:
open('myfile.out', 'w') do |f|
  f << "Hello, world.
"
end

ruby file write

# Write file
File.open("log.txt", "w") { |f| f.write "#{Time.now} - User logged in
" }
# or
File.write("log.txt", "data...")

# Append file
File.open("foo.txt", "a") { |f| f.write "#{Time.now} - User logged in
" }
# or
File.write("log.txt", "data...", mode: "a")

# Other Variants
File.open("out.txt", [your-option-string]) {|f| f.write("write your stuff here") }
