File.foreach is better than File.open(...).each because that way the file is 
closed right away (with your code open returns a file object that you simply 
throw away after calling each on it, so you can't call close on it). And 
doing puts file.chomp  is pointless as puts will just readd the \n removed by 
chomp.

HTH,
