The first thing everyone in this thread needs to realize is that '>' is 
not the separator you want to look for.  That's because you don't care 
what character marks the beginning of every entry, rather you care what 
character marks the end of every entry.  The end of every entry is 
marked by the string "\n\n", so you should use that has your input line 
terminator.  Remember, ruby uses "\n" for the input line separator by 
default, which means that when you read a file using IO#each, ruby reads 
lines--where the end of a line is marked by a newline.  However, you can 
change the input line separator to the string "\n\n" (or any other 
string):

$/ = "\n\n"


Once you have an entry, then you just need to do a little housekeeping 
and remove some "\n" characters.

"\n"


Note that specifying the new input line separator as an argument to 
each() serves to restore the original input line separator once the 
block has finished--which is a good thing.
