Text File Writer Assignment
Contents
Background
Ensure
Ruby provides begin/rescue/ensure which is rather analogous to try/catch/finally in Java.
note: although coincidental, it is rather fitting that this reference covers begin/rescue/ensure with ensuring to close an opened file as its example. Ensuring to close an opened file is the canonical example for this sort of feature.

Code To Implement
TextFileUtils
| file: | src/main/ruby/text_file_utils/text_file_utils.rb |  |
| class: | TextFileUtils | |
| superclass: | Object | |
| methods: | write_text(path) |
write_text(path)
Create a new File for the specified path in write mode.
If a block is given, yield the file to that block and ensure that you close the file. Return the closed file.
If no block is given, return the opened file.
Client
| file to run: | src/main/ruby/text_file_utils/text_file_utils.rb | |
TextFileUtils.write_text(path) do |file|
file.write("<html><body><h1>#{Time.now}</h1></body></html>")
end
