From: Jos Backus Date: 2011-06-09T00:54:50+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:36854] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4778] IO#each_chomped Issue #4778 has been updated by Jos Backus. Charles, shouldn't x.chomp! be x.chomp in the above code? x.chomp! can return nil. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4778: IO#each_chomped http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4778 Author: Joey Zhou Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto Category: Target version: When manipulating text files, mostly, the input record separator(saying "\n") is scrap and will be chomped. I suggest a method IO#each_chomped directly yielding the record with input record separator chomped. Laziness is a virtue..
