Hello<br />
I am brand new to ruby and was wondering how I can open a file in a different directory.<br />
My current script (Phil.rb) reads as follows and is in the same directory as my text file (SC6.TXT).<br />
<br />
File.open(&quot;SC6.TXT&quot;).each { &nbsp;| line | puts line}<br />
<br />
lets say the my SC6.TXT file was in another directory such as - F:\Phil\Ruby\SC6.TXT<br />
What would be the change in my script to open my text file in F drive?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Phil

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.
