Subject: Re: File position and buffers

This shows the output better:

e = input.enum_for(:each) #You can do this for a File too.

e.each_slice(2) do |buffer1, buffer2|
  puts "buffer1: #{buffer1.inspect}"
  puts "buffer2: #{buffer2.inspect}"
  puts "-" * 10
end

--output:--
buffer1: ">entry1\n11111111111\n\n"
buffer2: ">entry2\n22222222222\n\n"
----------
buffer1: ">entry3\n33333333333\n"
buffer2: nil
----------

Before doing the sub() on buffer2, you will have to check if its nil:

  if buffer2.nil?
    #don't do a sub()
  else
    #do the sub()
  end
