Hi all,

I am new to Ruby. I just wonder how I can concatenate all the lines from
one file and let them become one string.

Thanks,

Li

File.read("/path/to/file")

How about:

a=File.open("/home/n6tadam/.xsession").read.gsub!('\n', ' ')

I've substituted the newlines for spaces -- but you can do whatever you
want with it.

Or maybe

File.readlines("xorg.conf").join(' ').gsub!("\n",' ')
