Subject: Re: trying to strip characters from a line

The code is the very first post in this thread, but I'll repeat some of 
it here:

    n_rows.times do
        begin
            file = File.open("archive.html", "a")
            line = rs.fetch_row.to_s
            line.gsub /\[\]\"\,/, ''
            file.write(line)
            file.puts "<br>"
        end
    end


The code is processing rows from a MySQL table as lines of text, one at 
a time.  The desired output would look something like this:

blah blah blah<br>meh<br>foo bar<br>Feb-12-2012<br>

Instead it looks like this:

["blah blah blah<br>meh<br>foo bar<br>", "Feb-12-2012<br>"]
