Subject: Search File Contents

Hi Guys,

I have a small code block that is frustrating me for some time now. I
want to search for some text in a file. Simple isnt it?

def read_file week_num
  week_num = week_num.to_s
  f = File.open("fixtures.txt", "r")
 lines = f.readlines
  #week_num = '1.'
 lines.each do|line|
   if line.chomp.eql? week_num
       puts "Found the week number"
    end
 end
 f.close
end

The above is the method, and I am searching for "1.". I am passing the
variable "week_num" and i even tried to convert it to string. The search
code as it is right now, does not output "Found the week number", even
though the file contains "1."

If i uncomment the line that assigns week_num to '1.' directly, then it
works. What am i doing wrong?
