Hi, I am writing text from a TEXT field in my database to a newly created file. However i can''t seem to be able to maintain newlines, tabs etc. I am currently using the following code (even using ''puts'' doesn''t work): File.open( "#{@file.name}.rb", ''w'' ) {|file| file.puts(@file.text) Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
