How to suppress the output of return value in IRB/Rails Console?

Question

An example is if I go into IRB and do the following:

jruby-1.6.7 :026 > puts [1,2,3,4,5]
1
2
3
4
5
=> nil 

Is there anyway to suppres

Answer 1

You can also supress the output with the following command as irb --simple-prompt --noecho.

Find the below:

@ubuntu:~$ irb --simple-prompt
>> puts "hi"
hi
=> nil
>> p "hi"
"hi"
=> "hi"
>> exit
@ubuntu:~$ irb --simple-prompt --noecho
>> puts "hi"
hi
>> p "hi"
"hi"
>> 

Hope you will be fine with it.

I am using ruby version as below :

@ubuntu:~$ ruby -v
