Subject: Re: Conducting Regular Expressions on a text file

Follow up question:

How might I be able to make multiple placeholders within a text file? I 
thought this would work:

File.open("source.txt", "r") do |src|
  File.open("sink.txt", "w") do |sink|
     src.each_line { |line| sink.write(line.gsub(/placeholder/, "word"))
                                     sink.write(line.gsub(/placeholder2/, 
"word2"))
}
  end
end

, but my newbie assumptions were mistaken. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Peter
