You can do this with File.exist?("..."), but I'd do this:

begin
  contents = File.read("c:/test/test.txt")
  log.debug "Text File Available.....!!!!!!!!"
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  log.debug "File not available"
  break
end

This is technically better because it avoids a race condition (the file 
being deleted within the short time between when you test for its 
existence, and when you actually read it)
