The results of "line.strip"

[honoluludesktop]

In the following snippet, aFile is a text file, where a typical line may be line == " 10\n". When line == line.strip in order to take out the white spaces, is the resulting line == "10\n" or something else like line == "10"?

count = 0
odd_number = 1
aFile.each_line do |line|
  count = count +1
  if count == odd_number
    line = line.strip
    odd_number = odd_number + 2
  end

  if line == "10\n"
    #do something
  end
end

Tom, Thanks, I previous looked at that page, and tried to correct my code, but couldn't make it work. Guess it's another case where I am asking the wrong question. It's late, I will take another stab at it tomorrow. Except for speed, parsing, layers, block names, and nested blocks the plugin is (beta) usable.

This is a import of a Dxf file. The coding is very basic, but modular enough to add other Dxf features in the future.
