Displaying .txt file with Ruby Sinatra

Question

I would simply like to display a .txt file located in my public directory onto a page. I apologise that this may seem novice but I am new to Ruby.

So far the ruby sinatra code reads:

get '/create' do
    logfile = File.open("logfile.txt")
    erb :create
end

and the erb reads:

<h2>Text file:</h2>
<%= logfile %>

Can someone tell me what I need to display this text file on my page?

Another way to show .txt file with Sinatra(without erb).
in your script:

get '/' do
  send_file 'views/file.txt'
end

puts file.txt with content:

Heloo ! somebody here?
