From: Intransition Date: 2009-08-23T00:46:21+09:00 Subject: 1.8.7 String#lines keeps new-line chars (say it ain't so in 1.9) Ruby 1.8.7 p72 >> "A\nB\nC".lines.to_a => ["A\n", "B\n", "C"] Please, tell me that's a mishap, and not how 1.9 works. I'd expect: >> "A\nB\nC".lines.to_a => ["A", "B", "C"] Thanks.
