Subject: Newbie Questions

Hi,
I am new to Ruby and have a newbie Ruby question that i couldn't find 
the answer to in the FAQ.
If this is the wrong forum to post newbie questions please accept my 
apologies and direct me to a more suitable forum where i can ask newbie 
Ruby questions. Thanks.

First i display a console based menu with puts statements and then wait 
for input with the gets method like this..

menuChoiceString = gets

Then i have the following code to act based on what menu option was 
chosen.

if menuChoiceString == "1" then
 puts "You pressed 1"
else
  puts "You pressed 2"
end

When i use this and enter 1 it goes to the second option.
It looks fairly simple syntax so i'm not sure why the if statement is 
failing.
Can anyone help me understand why this would fail?

thanks

Paul
