Thank you Brian. Am on ubuntu linux and Ruby 1.8.7. Let me put some 
debugger and work it out why its not printing the desirable output.

@David Black:
My input consists of digits and not letters, that is why i used digits 
in the examples above; in short what i really wanted is: Given a listing
1
2
3
white space
3.05
4
5
whitespace
-6.3
7

Produce an output such that:
1,-3.05,-6.3
2,4,7
3,5

or
1,-3.05,-6.3
2,4,7
3,5,0
