Subject: Re: search a file and replace text

well I *THOUGHT* I knew how to do it, here's my first crack at it:

        file_name = base_config_path + '/Caching/tangosol-
coherence.xml'
        File.open(file_name, File::RDWR).each{ |line|
           if line.gsub!(/30890/, port.to_s)
                puts "tangosol port overridden with %d" % port
                break
            end
        }


The gsub doesn't modify the line, guess it just modifies the string.
How do I actually modify the file itself?

btw, I did look at rexml but it looked like overkill for this.  I'll
take another look though.
