hi Kotin -

  have a look here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/File.html, and 
here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/IO.html#M000896, for more 
info on ruby's File methods...

  i would use File.open with a block for this operation - something like 
this:

File.open("dev_string2.txt", "r"){|file|
  file.each{|line|
    if line =~ %r{/dev/}
      puts "pass: #{line}"
    end
  }
}

  note that running this the second line of your file does not pass, as 
it ends in "/dev", and not "/dev/".  i'm not sure if this is your 
intended result.  if you want the second line to pass as well, you could 
just change your regex to %r{/dev}.
