Subject: splitting help needed

I have a program that someone on this forum helped me fix before that
took a list of cities formatted like:

New York | Chicago | Boston |

and formatted them like this, along with a phrase added after each one:

New York
Chicago
Boston
etc.

The code looks like this:

main = 0


full= File.open("state.txt")
phrase=[", New Jersey"]
count=0
inside = []
full.each do |line|
  first=[]
  first=line.split(/\|/)
  first.each do |single|
    sub=single.strip!
    main = (sub).to_s + (phrase).to_s

    inside << main

    newfile=File.new("state2.txt", "w")
    newfile.puts inside
    newfile.close

    count+=1
  end
end




I tried to modify it so that it would separate not on the '|' character,
but on a single space (such as in a list of cities like "New York
Chicago Boston", etc. without the '|' above) and then enter the phrase
after it.

I can't seem to get it to put each city in the file on a new line and
then add the phrase that I want after it like it did before.  The only
real difference in what I want now and what I had before was the '|'
character. Can someone help me fix this?
