My problem is I have a file I want to read in, the file contains numbers in a CSV set-up like so: 2, 3, 15, 25, 29 the numbers are all written out like that 5 per row. What I want to do is split the numbers into columns that the 2 and the number under it are all in an array. The main problem I'm having is that when I try to put the numbers into the array I get a NoMethodError for the String type which I don't understand since I created the every method for the Array class not String. I attached the code any assistance is appreciated. Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/3550/numbers.rb -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
