Subject: search a string with ruby then read what comes after the string in the same line

I am trying to look for a a given string in a text and once i find the
string
I want to be able to store a string that comes after it.

For example I would look for a String "JUNE" and once I find "JUNE" in
the text
I want to store the string that follows JUNE in a variable x. This
string should be 7 characters. So if the text has "JUNE seventh 2012". I
want to be able to store the string seventh in a variable x. Such that
puts x will print seventh on the screen.

This is what I have so far but this only prints the string that I am
looking for. I would like to be able to print the string that comes
after the string I am looking for.

file_names = ['Document.txt']

file_names.each do |file_name|
text = File.read(file_name)

x = text.scan("June")
puts x

end

please advise.
