IO.readlines question (how do I get rid of \n?)

[OS]

Hello, again^2. I am using IO.readlines to create an array of strings to use in my code. Unfortunately, each string has an invisible \n I can't seem to get rid of...

If someone can explain to me how I would go about doing this, I would be so greatful.

Peace!

Edit:
Here is the line of code I am using, in case that helps.

@text = IO.readlines("Data/Interact Data/#{type}/#{@file}")

type is the next folder, and file is the file...

Peace!^2

Maybe trying gsub(/Text you want to check/) {|s| "What should e put instead" }

Just use like this : @string = "asdbbbb"

@string.gsub(/b/) {|s| "" } # returns @string = "asd"

Use this:

@text = IO.readlines("Data/Interact Data/#{type}/#{@file}").each {|line| line.slice!(-1,1)}

Thanks! It works now, except...I am testing this by using the print statement, and the last value printed (which is also the last String) is missing the last letter...

I could just add a blank space at the end of each document, I guess, but is there any way to stop the last letter in the last string from deleting?

Peace!

Use this:

@text = IO.readlines("Data/Interact Data/#{type}/#{@file}").each {|line|
line.slice!(-1,1) if line[-1,1]=="\n"}

Ahhh...thanks, vgvgf! You have been a great help!

Peace!
