From: Roger Pack Date: 2011-05-18T03:37:23+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:36281] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #1081] add File::write() convenience method Issue #1081 has been updated by Roger Pack. File latest_also_accomodate_lack_of_mode_param.diff added Uploading new tests and a fix that accomodate for the previously failing example. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1081: add File::write() convenience method http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/1081 Author: Suraj Kurapati Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Yusuke Endoh Category: core Target version: 1.9.x =begin Please add a File::write() convenience method to the core Ruby API. Currently, it is easier to read whole files than to write them: # reading a whole file --- less effort text = File::read('foo.txt') # writing a whole file --- more effort File::open('foo.txt', 'wb') {|f| f.write 'ruby!' } This imbalance can be corrected by adding a File::write method, such as the following, to the core Ruby API: class File def self.write path, data, mode = 'wb' open(path, mode) {|f| f.write data } end end Thanks for your consideration. =end -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
