From: RichardOnRails Date: 2009-04-29T10:50:03+09:00 Subject: Can this code be more succinct Hi All, I like to use the following form for handling error situations: ( puts "ERROR: Long msg"; exit) if some_boolean _expression I want the multiple form because the error messages are often long and sometimes multi-line. Is there any way to improve it by getting rid of the parentheses? Thanks in advance, Richard
