Compact join with new line

ruby-talk
1

I would like to compact join address elements by inserting a new line between them

in my class address I am using

   def to_s
     [@street, @city, @country ].compact.join(" - ")
   end

but I'd like to replace " -" by a new line character to display the full adress on 3 lines

is it possible ?

def to_s
    [@street, @city, @country ].compact.join("\n")
  end

thanks .. that's what I did, but I realize that displaying it inside a Rails view, I should join with a "<br />"
