"\n" Is this what what you mean with the new line escape character? I'm still trying to learn Ruby myself.

I actually found the answer. With Ruby you have to be very precise. So you must tell Ruby to put code on two separate lines. i.e.

  1. name = "Chris"
  2. puts = "Hello"
  3. puts name

This should work to produce:

Hello Chris
