Using 1.9.1
I noticed something with chomp
$ echo “abc” | ruby -e ‘puts gets.chomp(“c”)’
abc
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> “abc”.chomp(“c”)
=> “ab”
It doesn’t work on the command line, or am i doing it wrong.?
comments?

What are you trying to accomplish? Bear in mind that, on the command
line,
you have bash or cmd intercepting everything. It’s not the same as
trying
things inside irb.
Look up what string.chomp(arg) does in irb vs the same thing on the
command
line.
echo "abc"
outputs “abc\n”, try this instead
echo -n abc | ruby -e "puts gets.chomp 'c'"

“gets” returns the whole read string, with trailing newline ("\n").
Try: echo “abc” | ruby -e ‘p gets’ # => “abc\n”
You can either chomp it twice, or do “echo -n” instead of “echo”
(the former does not add a newline), or use “strip” method, which
removes all whitespace from begin and end of a string (check also
“rstrip” and “lstrip” functions).
‘|’ means in programming ‘or’ so the result would be.
if “abc” is true which it is then command line will not see
ruby -e ‘puts gets.chomp(“c”)’

gets includes the new line (if present):
ratdog:~ mike$ echo “abc” | ruby -e ‘puts gets.chomp(“c”)’
abc
ratdog:~ mike$ echo -n “abc” | ruby -e ‘puts gets.chomp(“c”)’
ab
Hope this helps,
