[Rails] strings issue

Hi everybody,

I ve got a problem with strings and the class File in rails
Indeed, when i try to do this:
File.new("archives/sequences/archives-2011.xml")
it works perfectly, however when i do
string = "archives/sequences/" + @filename => filename being
"archives-2011.xml"
File.new(string)

it doesn't work!
ruby tells me it cannot find the file

does anyone could tell me why?

Thanks
