Subject: Read File Into An Array

Hi,

I want to read a file into an array.  I'm using the following code:

contentsArray = Array.new

f = File.open("filenamehere") or die "Unable to open file..."
contentsArray = filenamehere.each_line { |line| }

However, it seems to put the whole file into the array as one item.  If 
I try and use contentsArray.slice! I get:

undefined method 'slice!' for #<File:filenamehere> (NoMethodError)

So it sees the contents of the array as a file instead of a list of text 
lines as I want.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
