The error I get is: initialize : permission denied I've tried all of the following File.new("a151noplus.txt","w") g=File.new("a151noplus.txt","w") File.new('a151noplus.txt','w') g=File.new('a151noplus.txt','w') Single quotes, double quotes, hit enter while swinging a dead chicken over my head and chanting.....no luck. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
