我如何使用文本文件中的 ruby​​ 和 twitter 推文

Question

I'm trying to tweet from a text file without getting the extra symbols.

My tweets looks like: ["This is a sample of my tweet on twitter"\\n] << it includes the symbols and the extra "n".

What I'm trying to get is: This is a sample of what I want my tweet to look like. << no extra symbols.

My code:

def tweet
  file = File.open("tweets_from.txt","r")
  read = file.readlines.sample(1)
  client.update("#{read}").text
end

tweet

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Answer 1

read = file.readlines.map(&:chomp).sample
client.update(read).text

Answer 2

It is enough to just change

read = file.readlines.sample(1)

to this:

read = file.readlines.sample.chomp
