I'm trying to have rails send the contents of my database to an external textfile. I wanted this done everytime a new user is created.

However, when i try to do the following in my user.rb model file,

before_save :write_data

def write_data()
    File.open("data.txt", "w") do |myfile|
        myfile.write(User.all)
    end
end

It doesn't write the actual contents of the database, instead, it displays something like this

User:0x109858540

Can anyone help? Thanks.
