Im attempting to analyze a text file, but having trouble splitting it up
into lines (into an array that indexes each line). Then I would like to
print every line.
Here is what I got:
f = File.open("/Users/john/Desktop/text.txt")
f_lines = f.split("\n")
puts f_lines
And here is the error Im getting:
NoMethodError: private method ‘split’ called for
#<File:/Users/john/Desktop/text.txt>
Dont know why this isnt working. Should be simple enough...

Hi,
you forgot to 'read' file.
f = File.open("/Users/john/Desktop/text.txt")
f_lines = f.read.split("\n")
puts f_lines
Note: you have also 'each_line' in IO, IOString, String, etc.
There is a convenient shortcut
File.readlines("/User/....")
