Tab Separated .txt with Ruby

[nheinrich]

Hi,
I've been tasked with using Ruby to read through a simple Tab Seperated .txt file, pulling the data out and reorganizing the columns. There are 5 Columns and about 20 entries. Seems simple but I can't quite figure out where to begin other than opening the file. Can anyone provide some insight?

A different language or renaming the file is not an option.

Thanks for any help.
