Hi,

with your help, I finished my first program in Ruby last weekend.
Thanks again!

Because Ruby has a lot of qualities that are quite different from
other languages, I would like to ask you to have a look over my
program and tell me where I break conventions or what else could be
done better. It's a fortune clone.

#!  /usr/bin/ruby -w

fileName = "/home/yooden/.mail/keywords";
sigDivider = '~###~'

sigs = Array.new(1)
i = 0

File.open(fileName) { |file|
    file.each_line { |line|
        if line =~ sigDivider
            i += 1
        else
            if sigs[i] == nil
                sigs[i] = line
            else
                sigs[i].concat line
            end
        end
    }
}

sigs.compact!

print sigs[rand(sigs.size)]
