I have an array
DOG
CAT
HAT
BOY HOOD
etc
I want to put a newline at the end of each phrase in the array.
Is there an easy way to do this or must I loop and do it.
thanks in advance

I want to put a newline at the end of each phrase in the array.
words = %w[some of my favourite words]
=> ["some", "of", "my", "favourite", "words"]
words.map! { |word| "#{word}\n" }
=> ["some\n", "of\n", "my\n", "favourite\n", "words\n"]
words
=> ["some\n", "of\n", "my\n", "favourite\n", "words\n"]
Check RDoc Documentation for the methods #map and #map!.
There is also the option of using #each and modifying each string in-place
as you iterate.
words = %w[some of my favourite words]
=> words.each { |word| word << "\n" }
However, modifying elements while iterating with #each can make your life
harder, so you should stick to map! to modify the array in-place.
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :001 > ["DOG","CAT","HAT"].map { |element| element + '\n' }
=> ["DOG\\n", "CAT\\n", "HAT\\n"]

It's not exactly what the OP wanted... 
Also, I am suspecting a
homework assignment here.
Joe, what do you need those newlines for? Are you aware how
puts(an_array) works? If not, please make yourself familiar with it
Kind regards
robert

Why yes. Yes I do have names for you. Many of them. But I'm polite

Considering the use cases for something like this makes it seem decently
questionable. Can you explain the problem you think this will solve? (ie the
only obvious use case I can think of is embedding text in a template, but if
you're doing something like that, then you probably know about map and each
and join, which could be used to solve this problem anyway)
