Subject: Re: index of string from beginning of line vs beginning of file

Thank You Robert,
I tried running this and unfortunately it shows the line break (newline) 
with or without the leading space before the "comment".

So I think Jesus is unto something with the "joined the array before 
writing it because puts with an array prints a newline between each 
element."

Now I just need to figure out how to have it not do the newline when 
there are spaces before the "comment"
thanks for your time.
