initialize : permission denied

Hi,
Tryin to create a file that I'll write in. The error I get is:
initialize : permission denied
I've tried all of the following
File.new("a151noplus.txt","w")
g=File.new("a151noplus.txt","w")
File.new('a151noplus.txt','w')
g=File.new('a151noplus.txt','w')

Single quotes, double quotes, hit enter while swinging a dead chicken
over my head and chanting.....no luck.

Typically "permission denied" means you don't have write-access to the
directory or file. Nothing to do with quoting.

Never mind....I got it.

I needed to specify a directory, and use "/" forward slashes.

I know this is a crazy idea, but would it by any chance be possible that yo=
u=20
don't have permission to write to the file?
On Windows that could be the result of the file already being opened. Or ju=
st=20
by you not having the required permissions on the file.

HTH,
Sebastian
