Dunno about win32 in general, but why not simply use File.open/new ? f = File.new("ayaken", File::CREAT|File::RDWR, 0644) f.puts("banzai!"); f.close f = File.new("ayaken", File::RDWR) f.seek(8); f.puts("ayaken!"); => ayaken now contains (at least on Unix) banzai!\n ayaken!\n (on windows probably have to seek one further for the \r) -Martin
