Line 1 2. Not really line 2 </code></pre> <p>Once your run <code>file_write.rb</code> you should see new file called out.txt with same content as <code>in.txt</code> You could change the content of input file if you want. In your case you would use pdf reader to get the content and write it to the text file. Basically first line of the code will change.</p>
