Subject: How to redirect output to another directory?...

All-

The last line of the following code writes a bunch of files in the current directory (.../ruby/bin).

     content = File.new("template1.txt").read
     fs = File.new("fiddle.sticks").read
     IO.foreach("packages.txt") { |x|
       field = x.chop.split(':')
       content2 = content
       content2.gsub!(/<release_num>/, fs)
       File.new(field[0],"w+").write(content2)
     }

Question: How can I redirect the output to the subdirectory ".../ruby/bin/output"?


I would have thought that I could rewrite the last line thus:

       File.new(field[0],"w+").write("./output/" << content2)

But this has no effect on the output.


Thanks!
