I think this will give you a clue on what's going on, and how to  move on:

File.open("directory") do |file|
        while somedigit = file.gets
                somedigit.chomp!
                puts "SQL STATEMENT I MADE UP ='"+somedigit+"'"
        end
 end

In summary, gets returns the \n at the end of the line, so you should remove it.

Hope this helps,

Jesus.
