fputs

  • fputs — Alias of fwrite

    In PHP, fwrite and fputs are equivalent.

    PHP

    $f = fopen('/path/to/foobar', 'w');
 
# identical
fwrite($f, 'chars');
fputs($f, 'chars');
 
fclose($f);

    Ruby’s File objects, and all Ruby objects that include the IO mixin, have instance methods write and puts. Unlike PHP, they are not equivalent.

    Ruby

    File.open('/path/to/foobar', 'w') do |f|
  f.write("foo")    # writes "foo"
  f.write("foo\n")  # writes "foo\n"
 
  f.puts("foo")     # writes "foo\n"
  f.puts("foo\n")   # writes "foo\n"
end

    As shown by the example above, Ruby’s File#write method does not append newlines. This is the familiar behavior from PHP’s fwrite and fputs.

    Ruby’s File#puts method behaves differently. It will always append a newline to any line that does not already end in one.
