Subject: array.each puzzle from new ruby-er

Given:
lines = file.readlines("\x15")  # don't ask :)
  lines.each do |y|
    y.chomp!("\x15")
    y.sub!(/^\n/,"") #kill off the extra line feeds
    if y =~ /^\*\*\*/ then
      y = "<someTag>" + y + "</someTag>"
    ...
[ assume ends]
puts lines

my output for the affected elements is:
<someTag>
value of y</someTag>

How can I get the results to be
<someTag>value of y</someTag>

I've tried changing y to y.to_s; I still get the new line.

I'm sure this is obvious if you know what you're doing, but I'm stumped.
Can somebody give me a clue?

TIA if you take a moment to point me in the right direction.
Gani
