Hi again. I am starting a new topic since this question is not the same as my original topic started this morning. "It builds on to that question." Originally I was reading a textfile that had values that were comma delimited. The values were not being outputted to separated lines. Now that they do that..I was hoping that someone could help me to add a comment before the line goes into splitting. Thanks everyone for being so helpful! MC Question: Do you know how to add a string on the end of each value before splitting into a new line? For instance... textfile contents: value1,value2,value3... value1 comments value2 comments value3 comments I tried this using Robert's code, however, it put the comments on a newline. File.foreach "temp.txt" do |line| puts "", line.split(/,/),"comments" + @usercomments end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
