Subject: opening/reading a text file - how do u use .find method?

Here I am creating a text file, writing to the text file and then
opening the text file to search for one of the lines that I just
inserted this line contains 'wed'.

My issue is that when I try to search the file using the .find and a
regular expression the file does not even enter my if statement. (This
is very beginner level I know) What do you think or suggest that I am
doing wrong here? MC


  File.open('mynewfile.txt', 'w')

  File.open('mynewfile.txt', 'a') do |f1|
      f1.puts "00834 tue z0sdf"
      f1.puts "01230 wed z0sdf"
      f1.puts "34234 tue wet0f"
   end

##-----> Here is my troubled code...
  File.open('mynewfile.txt', 'r') do |f1|
    f = File.new("mynewfile.txt")
    newline = f.each {|line| puts "#f.lineno}: #{line}"}
     if f.each{|line| puts "#f.lineno}: #{line}"}.find  =~ /wed/
      varWed = newline
     end
  end
