Subject: Re: Best way to search through an array for an item matching a s

Thanks Jeremy. That works a treat, however if I'm using an array 
populated by values from a text file I get:

undefined method `-' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)


I've tried flattening the array but it didn't make any difference (as 
that's caused issues in the past), but to it's no use.
Using IRB I can see it's putting in new line characters when it's 
stripping the line.

i.e.  "arrrrrrgh!\n"

I presume this is what is producing the error, does anyone know a way 
around this error?


Thanks very much,
Dan
