Hi,
Im trying to make an application based on the 'depot' app from 'Agile
web development with Rails'. Instead of putting the data in
add_test_data.rb itself (p.89), I want to read it in from a txt file
like this (gg.txt has a list of front and last names):

class AddTestData < ActiveRecord::Migration
    def process(k)
    k.chop!
    ary = k.split
    Zwemmer.create(:lastname => ary[1,3].join(' '), :frontname =>
ary[0].to_s.downcase, :group => 'gg', :image_url => '/images/ggs.png')
  end

  def self.up
      Zwemmer.delete_all
      myfile =File.new("gg.txt", "r")
      myfile.each {|line| process(line)}
            myfile.close
    end

    def self.down
    end
end

error:
rake aborted!
No such file or directory - gg.txt

gg.txt is in the same directory as add_test_data.rb. Where should i put
the txt file? How should i read it in?
