to avoid doubt, try slowly.

this is a first mod/run of your posted code, eg,

botp@pc4all:~$ cat test.txt
foo1 / bar.edu
foo2 / bar.com
foo3 / bar.gov

botp@pc4all:~$ cat test.rb
p File.readlines("test.txt").map{|x| x.chomp}

botp@pc4all:~$ ruby test.rb
["foo1 / bar.edu", "foo2 / bar.com", "foo3 / bar.gov"]

that is just one way. there are many ways if using ruby.

kind regards -botp
