How to avoid last \n character in heredoc

Question

In ruby heredoc:

a = <<~TEXT
  asd
  asd
TEXT

it will generate:

[21] pry(main)> a = <<~TEXT
[21] pry(main)*   asd
[21] pry(main)*   asd
[21] pry(main)* TEXT
=> "asd\n" + "asd\n"

It generate a \n at the end of string, how to avoid this?

Answer 1

As sagarpandya82 points out, you will need an additional action (i.e. chomp) to remove that extra \n.

You can use chomp along with heredoc like this:

a = <<~TEXT.chomp
  asd
  asd
TEXT
#=> "asd\nasd"
