I am just starting with Ruby and working on adding double quotes around a string.
print "Enter the name of the file to use (including the file type)"
file_name = gets.to_s
puts "\"#{file_name}\""
and I get an output of
"test1.txt
"
Any ideas on what could be going wrong are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
This doesn't have to do with the quotations you're adding, but rather that you're not using String#chomp to remove the trailing newline that is included with every gets:
gets # I type foo
# => "foo\n"
gets.chomp # I type foo
# => "foo"
You don't actually need the to_s here because gets will always return a string.
