From: Sy Ali Date: 2006-06-06T13:22:31+09:00 Subject: Writing to a file without opening it File.open(file, 'a+') won't work when the file is not readable. However, in a shell I can append a string using echo string >> file Am I forced to use exec + echo to append content, or is there a way to append a string to a file using ruby code.. without opening the file?
