Question

file.each_line do |line|
  #skip the first one/not a user
  3.times { next } if first == 1
  first = 2
end

How can I get the ‘next’ to well, “next” the iteration of the each_line, instead of the 3.times iteration? Also, how can I write this to look better (ie: first == 1 looks bad)

Answer 1

You can use drop method to, er, drop first couple of elements:

File.open('bar').each_line.drop(3).each do |line|
  puts line
end
