dude.. why not:

File.open("./lol.txt", "r") { |file| File.new("./#{ File.basename(file.path, ".txt") }_new.txt", "w+").puts(file.read) }

Or:

File.open("./lol.txt", "r") { |fileold| filenewfilename = "#{ File.basename(file.path, ".txt") }new.txt" #append "new" to the end of the filename filenew = File.new(filenewfilename, "w+") file_new.puts(file.read) }

Right on "c00lryguy", thanks for the post. You're right too, Ruby is one bad ass language.

Determine the type of sewing machine you need. If you’re just getting started, you may want to start with a basic model that includes basic functions like stitching and hemming. If you’re more experienced, you may want to consider a Sewing machine with more advanced capabilities or one that can handle more intricate projects.
