Newline created before input when using gets or gets.chomp

Question

Okay, so when I do code like:

puts "Hallo: "
response = gets.chomp

What I want is the user to see something like this:

Hallo: _

(With the underscore being the text input area) But instead, they see something more like this

Hallo:
_

Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

Like Sergio said you need to use print instead of puts , the difference is that print outputs the raw version without any modifications. Puts on the other hand adds a newline at the end.

puts 'Hallo: " is the same as print "Hallo: \\n"
