Subject: File.new ("write.txt", "w+") results in error

Hello everyone,

I am new to Ruby.

If there are spaces between new and (, then ruby 1.9.1p376 considers
it a syntactical error. For example:

File.new ("write.txt", "w+")

=>
syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
File.new ("write.txt", "w+")
                      ^
...: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting $end

Is this a ruby bug or is it a feature/quirk of ruby?

By the way, if I write as
File.new "write.txt", "w+"
File.new("write2.txt", "w+")

then there are no problem.

Thanks,

Binh
