Question

In Ruby or in Rails:-
I need to show output from below code formated as it shows in command prompt.

require 'net/ssh'

Net::SSH.start( hostname, username, :password => password ) do|ssh|

result = ssh.exec!('ls -ltr')

puts result

end

Let me know how is it possible?

Command (ls -ltr) is dynamic and
currently output is:

Answer 1

Try using the <pre> tag. Also make sure that the font you use is one of the monospace fonts like CourierNew.

<pre><%= result %></pre>
