actually chomp() returns the number of "characters" that were chomped - not the delimiters. You're right of course. (But your over elaborate demonstration added nothing to the simple statement of fact.) I remember discovering early on that the return from chomp wasn't useful and I've never concerned myself with what non-useful thing it actually returned ever since. So the OP's code is not going to work... That was the point I was making when I said: "Neither snippet will do what you think it will do.". With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
