Subject: Howto write SAX2Parser stream in to a file

Hello,

I'm new to Ruby and trying to write a stream in to a file,
but I can just get an empty one. I tryed in different way
found heare on the forum ( IO lib, Rio lib,
out_file << "#{doc.parse}" and so on ).

Here I show you the simplest :

-----------------------------------------
require 'rexml/parsers/sax2parser'

file = File.new "lapatyXML.xml"
doc = REXML::Parsers::SAX2Parser.new file

doc.listen(:characters, ["title"]) do |title|
  print "\"#{title}\" : "
end
doc.listen(:characters, ["link"]) do |link|
  print "#{link} : "
end
doc.listen(:characters, ["dc:date"]) do |date|
  print "#{date} : "
end
doc.listen(:characters, ["dc:subject"]) do |subject|
  puts "#{subject}"
end

File.open("outfile.xls","w") do |out_file|
  out_file.write "#{doc.parse}"
end
------------------------------------------

Nothing seems to work, I just get an empty file "outfile.xls" .

... of course doc.parse contain a correct stream :

irb(main):067:0> doc.inspect
=> "#<REXML::Parsers::SAX2Parser:0x2f4aba8 @procs=[[:characters,
\"title\", #<Pr
oc:0x02f3c184@(irb):48>], [:characters, \"link\",
#<Proc:0x02f34114@(irb):51>],
[:characters, \"dc:date\", #<Proc:0x02f2b334@(irb):54>], [:characters,
\"dc:subj
ect\", #<Proc:0x02f201a0@(irb):57>]], @tag_stack=[], @listeners=[],
@has_listene
rs=false, @namespace_stack=[],
@parser=#<REXML::Parsers::BaseParser:0x2f4ab80 @d
ocument_status=nil, @source=#<REXML::IOSource:0x2f4ab08
@source=#<File:lapatyXML
.xml>, @er_source=#<File:lapatyXML.xml>, @buffer=\"<?xml
version=\\\"1.0\\\" enc
oding=\\\"UTF-8\\\"?>\", @line=0, @line_break=\">\", @orig=\"<?xml
version=\\\"1
.0\\\" encoding=\\\"UTF-8\\\"?>\", @to_utf=false, @encoding=\"UTF-8\">,
@closed=
nil, @stack=[], @tags=[], @entities=[]>, @entities={}>"
irb(main):068:0>

irb(main):018:0> doc.type
(irb):18: warning: Object#type is deprecated; use Object#class
=> REXML::Parsers::SAX2Parser

irb(main):019:0> doc.class
=> REXML::Parsers::SAX2Parser
---------------------------------------------

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance
Lgs
