works for me:

% ri File::read
--------------------------------------------------------------- IO::read
      IO.read(name, [length [, offset]] )   => string
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset, then returns
      _length_ bytes (defaulting to the rest of the file). +read+  
ensures
      the file is closed before returning.

         IO.read("testfile")           #=> "This is line one\nThis is  
line two\nT
his is line three\nAnd so on...\n"
         IO.read("testfile", 20)       #=> "This is line one\nThi"
         IO.read("testfile", 20, 10)   #=> "ne one\nThis is line "
