Ruby: File.read Error encoding:"UTF-8"

I wrote a program to convert a xml file. I started it with the following command

ruby Skribt.rb example

Here is a part of the code:

sessionid = ARGV[0].dup
inputfile = "upload/" + sessionid + "_source.xml" # Hochgeladene XML Datei
outputfile = "output/" + sessionid + ".xml"
stringKomplett = File.read(inputfile,encoding: "UTF-8").gsub(/<group.*?type=\"public\".*?\/>/, "")

I get the following error and do not know how to solve this.

Skript.rb:16: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')'
... File.read(inputfile,encoding: "UTF-8").gsub(/<group.*?type=...
                              ^
Skript.rb:16: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting $end
...d(inputfile,encoding: "UTF-8").gsub(/<group.*?type=\"public\...
                          ^

I hope you can help me with this problem. Thank you in advance for you help.

Greetings

It seems you are using older Ruby version. Try this instead:

File.read(inputfile, :encoding => "UTF-8").gsub(/<group.*?type=\"public\".*?\/>/, "")
