Subject: Chomping and stomping

Chaps,

Here's a short script to keep requesting for input...

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
def chomper
  xx = gets.chomp!  
  until $_ == "qq"
    puts "hit me with a squirell!"
    xx = gets.chomp!  
    xx
  end
end

chomper

# this works but surely there must be a way to incoporate a variable
in there?

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
def chomper
  xx = gets.chomp!  
  until xx == "qq"
    puts "hit me with a squirell!"
    xx
  end
end

#this don't work.
