Question:

I am trying to read in three strings from a .txt file. The code does
everything but return the values stored in the file.

Code:

f = File.open('productlines.txt','r')

lines = f.readlines

lines.each do |line|

  test = '#{line}'

  puts 'I read this line: ' + test +'.'

end


File contents:
pkplus
aminoplex
tuffturf

Output:
I read this line: #{line}.
I read this line: #{line}.
I read this line: #{line}.
I read this line: #{line}.
I read this line: #{line}.


Not sure if I am reading file correctly or why it return five times?
Thanks for your guidance.

Michael
