  • 0

Often I find myself doing the following:

print "Input text: "
input = gets.strip

Is there a graceful way to do this in one line? Something like:

puts "Input text: #{input = gets.strip}"

The problem with this is that it waits for the input before displaying the prompt. Any ideas?

    require "highline/import"
    input = ask "Input text: "
