ruby has number of special variables, 1 of $. read line's number.

you can use io's lineno method.

io.lineno  (from ruby core) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------   ios.lineno    -> integer  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------  returns current line number in ios.  stream must opened reading. lineno counts number of times #gets called rather number of newlines encountered.  2 values differ if #gets called separator other newline.  methods use $/ #each, #lines , #readline increment lineno.  see $. variable.    f = file.new("testfile")   f.lineno   #=> 0   f.gets     #=> "this line one\n"   f.lineno   #=> 1   f.gets     #=> "this line two\n"   f.lineno   #=> 2
