Use the File::read() method:

  file_path = "path to your file.txt"

  file_contents = File.read(file_path)

  ie.text_field(:name, "JMSText").set(file_contents)

With the above approach, you must rerun your Ruby program after changing 
the text in notepad.

If you wish to have your Ruby program respond to changes in the text 
file while it is still running, then take a look at libinotify.
