Subject: Re: Problem reading small files - stringio problem?

I think your problem is: open('sample.txt', 'w'). You either open a file for 
append or write, but not both. Remove this line and it might work.

Shorter also might be:

 File.open('sample.txt', 'a') do |out|
   ('A'..'Z').each do |c| 
      out.puts File.open("#{c}.html", 'r').read
  end
 end
