Subject: why writing the file is partial

Hi all,

Thank you for your valuable inputs for my previous post.

Right now I encounter another odd situation. I want to search some
strings and replace them all in place. ButI can partially update/replace
part of them. I wonder if any experts there can explain it.

And here are my codes:

my_direrctory="C:\\flow\\test"

pat=/2\.000000\\\$P1G\\2\.000000/
sub='1.000000\$P1G\\\1.000000'

Dir.chdir(my_direrctory)
Dir.foreach(my_direrctory) do |filename|       #return a file name
      next if filename=~/^\./                  # skip . and ..
      my_file_path=my_direrctory+"\\"+filename #get absolute file name
      File.open( my_file_path,"r+") do |file|  #pass a file to the block
         file.each_line do |line|
                if pat.match(line)
                      line.gsub!(pat,sub)  #replace the line in place
                      file.print line    #write/update the file
                end
         end
      end
end

#####input file format###
test.001
xxx\2.000000\$P1G\2.000000\xxx
xxx\2.000000\$P1G\2.000000\xxx
xxx\2.000000\$P1G\2.000000\xxx
xxx\2.000000\$P1G\2.000000\xxx


### the updated file###
