Hi, when I convert a Hash to a YAML object and print it a line "---" is added
at the beginning:
---------------------------------------------------------
require 'yaml'
puts({1=>2,"ABC" => {"a"=>"A","b"=>"B"}}.to_yaml)
---
ABC:
a: A
b: B
1: 2
=> nil
---------------------------------------------------------
Well, how could I hide that annoyin "---" line? Maybe using "grep" in some
way? other suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Try this
x = {1=>2,"ABC" => {"a"=>"A","b"=>"B"}}.to_yaml
x = x[5...x.length]

Which can be, simply:
{1=>2,"ABC" => {"a"=>"A","b"=>"B"}}.to_yaml[5..-1]
It may even be slightly more efficient to use String#sub
{1=>2,"ABC" => {"a"=>"A","b"=>"B"}}.to_yaml.sub("--- \n", '')

Awesome. Totally forgot about negative indexes.

I would use the .sub option because it is explicit about what it is removing.
However, the Hash did not add the --- . It is part of the YAML standard as the start of a document. You should consider leaving it alone, because other YAML tools will like it.

Yes, that's true, that "---" is part of the YAML grammar, but the fact is that
I'm only showing it, printing it, no more.
Thanks.

I too have automatically whacked it, for that reason. (-:
