Yes, and leave out the to_s, too. If you want a string use File.read instead 
of File.readlines. In this case you can use both, though, since String and 
Array both have a grep method. But using readlines to get an array and then 
converting it to string via to_s, doesn't make sense.

HTH,
Sebastian
