Subject: reading in a file

hi,

i want to create a ruby program that uses a "database" of reference
specifications held in a text file to process a set of other files that
cite these references, substituting correct citations in the text and
adding a reference section to the text after the last file has been
processed. All the output should be sent to the standard output (except
errors which should go to standard error). To format the references i
need to use HTML tags. Some useful tags :

<b>bold</b> <i>italic</i> <u>underline</u> <sup>superscript</sup>

i cant find out how to read in the file. where should i save the text
file on the computer? and where will the new file appear?

thanks
