Question

I am trying to get a .rb file to make another .rb file within a specific directory with specified content, when that file is run. I dont know whether the best way to do this would be with a Ruby file or a Rake file. You input would be great.

Answer 1

This turned out to be the best solution.

File.open("linecount.txt",'w') do |filea|
  File.open("testfile.txt",'r') do |fileb|
    while line = fileb.gets
      filea.puts line.length
    end
  end
end
