From: Luis Mcdoguall Date: 2008-02-25T12:32:44+09:00 Subject: each_byte question Hi, I am new to Ruby(v 1.8.6), I will like to know if is possible to use multiple lines on a block for the each_byte method on strings. Something like: coset=9 i=0 message = "adsfasdfakjhkjhowerjkbvmzbcnvkfhoeiwrukfhzadsfhhfalkhweryiuwyoyqbvbv" message.each_byte do |letter| i=+1 if i == coset puts else print letter end end this code will yield : syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND Any explanation will be appreciated.
