How to print an array

Hi, I have done this method in order to put the content of a txt file
into an array. Now I should have to construct a bucle out of the method
to print the content of the array in the screen but I dont't know what
to do. This is my method:

def cargar_tokens(txtFileName)
  tokens=[]
  txtFile = File.open(txtFileName)
  txtFile.each(" ") do |palabra|
    if (palabra=~ /(.+)/)
      token = $1
      tokens.push(token)
    end
    end
  txtFile.close
  return tokens
end

  if (ARGV.length<1)
puts "I need one argument: 1) name of the file"
else
tokens=cargar_tokens(ARGV[0])
end

Not sure what a "bucle" is :slight_smile:

Here are some options to try:

puts tokens.join(", ")

puts tokens.inspect

tokens.each do |token|
  puts token
end

It looks like Brian answered your question, but if you are interested in
the more idiomatic "ruby" approach you can do something more like:

def cargar_tokens(txt_file_name)
  tokens =
  File.open(txt_file_name) do |file|
    file.each_line(' ') { |palabra| tokens << $1 if palabra =~ /(.+)/ }
  end

  tokens
end

if ARGV.empty?
  puts "I need one argument: 1) name of the file"
else
  tokens = cargar_tokens(ARGV.first)
end

The nice rubyisms are what make it fun, to me at least!

It's a loop.

Also:

   puts tokens
