Thanks MC Each column starts on a different position column1 position(0) column2 position(13) column3 position(20) column4 position(28) This is an example of the way the text file should look: SL_ewer00 45 SL_PRO1 4534 0 SL_erer 46 SL_PRO2344 46 0 SL_2344 47 SL_PRO334 47 0 #*********SNIPPPET doc.elements.each("*//FieldMap") do |element| @fromField = element.attributes["FromFieldID"] @toField = element.attributes["ToFieldID"] @fromIndex = element.attributes["FromIndex"] @toIndex = element.attributes["ToIndex"] File.open('C:\dRar\spn.txt', 'r+') do |f1| f1.position 0 f1.puts @fromField f1.seek 13 f1.puts "@toField f1.seek 20 f1.puts @fromIndex f1.seek 27 f1.puts @fromIndex end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
