For exercise 17, through searching other responses I was able to condense the following into one line (as asked in the extra credit #3)
from_file, to_file = ARGV
script = $0
input = File.open(from_file)
indata = input.read()
output = File.open(to_file, 'w')
output.write(indata)
output.close()
input.close()
I was able to condense it into:
from_file, to_file = ARGV
script = $0
File.open(to_file, 'w') {|f| f.write IO.read(from_file)}
Is there a better/different way to condense this into 1 line?
Can someone help explain the line I created? I created this from various questions/answers unrelated to this question. I have tried looking up exactly what I did but I am still a little lost and want a full understanding of it.
