From: Jeffrey Bowen Date: 2007-07-13T12:16:00+09:00 Subject: gets Of course the code below will not work because gets is adding /n to the entry. I know that chomp will remove the /n but is there away to cut the /n without reassigning test1 to another variable IE test2 = test1.comp print "test1 " test1 = gets puts test1.class if test1 == "1" puts "step 1" else puts "step 2" end Thanks Jeff ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
