I seriously doubt that this is how you open files.

No, never. Also, your browser has nothing to do with Ruby’s ability to
make
network connections.
Or is that what you’re asking? Or are you asking how to get Ruby to
point your
web browser to that location?
sorry i use IO.popen(file location here) to open files works fine i
wanted my program to open the page with a specifide command

There is a pretty good blog devoted to automating Windows using Ruby.
If you are using Internet Explorer you may want to check it out. The
URL is Ruby on Windows: ie. I’ve used the
information there to write Ruby scripts to automatically open Internet
Explorer and navigate to a web page. It required ‘win32ole’, which
comes standard with the Ruby windows installer.

thanx ill try this
As an example, here is a program that will open internet explorer,
navigate to a flight tracker webite, and automatically refresh every 60
seconds.
–Alex
require ‘win32ole’
print "Enter Airline and Flight Number: "
flight = gets.strip
n = 60
browser = WIN32OLE.new(‘InternetExplorer.Application’)
browser.navigate(“Live Flight Tracker - FlightAware”)
browser.visible = true
loop do
sleep(n)
browser.refresh
print Time.now, “\n”
end
