Previously I had been using a different text editor and these .__new_example files were hidden. Obviously RoR generated some kind of hexadecimal code corresponding to my typed code.

What are they conveying exactly and when do they get generated?

This is more just for the sake of I don't and it drive me nuts not knowing.

  • I've not seen anything generated like that before by rails. Are you using any non-standard gems? By non-standard, I mean less than a couple thousand downloads? – Justin Wood Feb 28 '16 at 23:47

  • You can see [this](http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2006/Jun/msg00180.html), Matt Deatherage, engineer at Apple, answer to this question and give more explanations about those files. (I have not enough reputations to comment, I am sorry :( ) – scoudert Feb 29 '16 at 12:07

It's an apple thing. OS X creates a file for its own purposes.
