pretty print to a file in ruby

Question

I am trying to pretty print a hash to a file.

I tried unix redirects [added different flags to it incrementally] :

`echo #{pp  mymap} | tee summary.out          


        

Answer 1

What about (not using pp directly):

File.open("myfile.out","w+") do |f|
  f.puts mymap.inspect
end

Or even redirect stdout for the file

file = File.open("myfile.out", "w+)

old_stdout = STDOUT

$stdout = STDOUT = file

pp get_submap_from_final(all_mapping_file,final_map)

$stdout = STDOUT = old_stdout
