Method with array PROBLEM

Ruby
1

Hi, I have a problem, I have to write a method using an array but I’m
not able to combine the two things.
I have a txt file which contains words and puntuaction symbols separated
whit spaces.
I have to write a method which receives the txt file as a first entry
argument and returns an array of tokens. I have to call the methos and
print IN THE SCREEN all the tokens contained in the array the array in
this way:

token 1= the
token 2= house
token 3= is
token 4= big
token 5= .

Take a look at the File#read and File#readline methods, and to
separate in tokens: String#split or String#scan.

StringScanner (in the stdlib) is intended for tasks like this. They show
an
example at the start.
