Can you implement a better IO#each_lines?

Ruby

like this,thanks
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
class IO
def each_lines(n)
run=true
while run
lines=[]
n.times{
ln = self.gets
unless ln
run=false
break
else
lines<<ln.chomp
end
}
yield lines unless lines.empty?
end
end
end

open(FILE) do |f|
f.each_lines(3) do |lines|
p lines
end
end

require ‘enumerator’ # if necessary
open(FILE) do |f|
f.each_slice(3) do |lines|
p lines
end
end

There is no need to implement anything. You can use #each_slice:

robert@fussel:~$ seq 1 10 | ruby1.9 -e ‘$stdin.each_slice(3) {|l| p l}’
[“1\n”, “2\n”, “3\n”]
[“4\n”, “5\n”, “6\n”]
[“7\n”, “8\n”, “9\n”]
[“10\n”]
robert@fussel:~$

This works in 1.8.7 and 1.9.*.

Kind regards

This works in 1.8.7 and 1.9.*.

And 1.8.6 if you require ‘enumerator’.
