Is there something I am missing ? u=`echo '#{l}' | cut -d: -f4`.chop() p2=`echo '#{l}' | cut -d: -f3`.chop() p1=`echo '#{l}' | cut -d: -f2`.chomp() h=`echo '#{l}' | cut -d: -f1`.chop() # **Cant get newlines to go !! ??** path="#{p1}/#{@CODELINEFILTER}#{p2}" puts path Any suggestions ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
