Saving files to harddrive

Ruby
1

I’m wondering if it’s possible to save a file to a harddrive with Ruby.
I’ve googled it a few times but I never
get what I need. I know I can ‘write’ to a file, but it doesn’t actually
write to it on the harddrive, just during
that instance.

If anyone knows whether or not this is possible, that’d be great.

Thanks,
Corbin S.

Of course

$ irb
irb> text = “Hello world\n”
=> “Hello world\n”
irb> File.open(“mytestfile.txt”, “w”) { |f| f.write(text) }
=> 12
irb> exit
$ cat mytestfile.txt
Hello World
$

That is “saving a file”
