Subject: .getc.chr doesn't work

Hi!

then I wan't to read some part of data, but I don't get where I have a
mistake. Could you help me find it?

#Constans
FS = 0x1c
RS = 0x1e

#Open file
f = File.new("abcdef", "r")

#Read a line, split it, and delete bad fields (last one)
tbl = f.readline(FS.chr).split(RS.chr) - [FS.chr]
#For each from tbl
tbl.each { |x|
   #Split field
   splitted = x.split("_")
   #The read loop
   tmp = String.new
   i=0
   while (i < splitted[2].to_i)
     tmp += f.getc.chr #Here I have an error...
   end
   #Save readed data
   f2 = File.new(s[0]+"-"+s[1]+".txt", "w")
   f2.write(tmp)
   f2.close
}

#Close file
f.close
