Question

I m using following code to read a file content.

@file_content = String.new
IO.foreach "/path/to/file" 
do |line|
   # Do something with line.
   @file_content << line
end

But If i m rendering @file_content in view, its not displaying new line chracter. Can anybody tell me how to capture new line chracter as well.

I have used this also.

@file_content = File.read("Path/to/file")

But its also not working.

HTML “newlines” are different from your regular newlines. Try inserting <br/> after each line of text

IO.foreach "/path/to/file" do |line|
   @file_content << line
   @file_content << '<br />'
end
