Ruby beginner Having issue writing variables to user created .txt file

Ruby

this is some thing I’m doing for my job, I figured I’d try it in ruby

instead of doing it in c++ with qt…

class Setup
attr_accessor :folder, :file
@folder.to_s
@file.to_s
end

class MakeListings
attr_accessor :website, :username, :password, :description
@website.to_s
@username.to_s
@password.to_s
@description.to_s
end

def Install()

@folder = gets.chomp
Dir.mkdir(@folder) unless Dir.exists?(@folder)
@file = gets.chomp
outfile=File.open(@file,“w+”)
outfile.close
Main();
end

def CreateWebsite()

wMessage_one = “\nPlease input the site for this listing”

puts wMessage_one

@website = gets.chomp

File.open(@file, “a+”)

file << “#{@website}”

file.close

CreateUsername();

end

#I would have indented but it kept cutting it off and making it look
#worse

Every thing works except for opening and writing to the file

the File path contains the absolute file path given by the user.

Example c:\Random Test

So the folder gets created

#and then c:\Random Test\Hello there.txt the text file is created

How can I open this text file and append it? It doesn’t seem to like

the #@file variable

Aside from the fact that the usage of the idea of sharing the @file
variable between two top-level functions, while technically correct, is
a bit odd, note that you are using inside your function CreateWebsite
two DIFFERENT variables with similar name: ‘@file’, which is an instance
variable (in this case, I think, injected into the instance of type
Object, because you are not within a class definition), and ‘file’,
which is a local variable within the function.

BTW, be a little bit more precise when describing a problem. When you
say “It doesn’t seem to like …”, this is not something which has a
deeper meaning. Does it crash? Does it throw an exception? Does it hang
forever?
