Issue #1081 has been updated by Roger Pack. Hmm. On second thought perhaps on windows it should be File::write(path, string, mode='w', opt={}) And there should be File::binwrite(path, string, mode='wb', opt={}) for consistency with 1.9's existing File::read and File::binread Thoughts? -r ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1081 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
