Problem with Trie..
 

So I'm writing a program that reads in a file which has each word on a different line. The program is supposed to loop through the file in such a way that when it reads a line and gets to the end of the line it adds that word to an array and inserts it into a trie that I have created then it does it for the second, third and so on. However, every time I insert a new word the existing trie is overwritten. How can I loop through so that my trie continues to hold on to the previously inserted words? And yes I know that my code is probably written horribly.

def hw2

  puts "What file would you like to read?"

  name = gets.chomp

  puts "What file would you like to write to?"

  name2 = gets.chomp



  f1 = File.new(name2, "w+")

  aFile = File.open(name, "r")

  array = []

  while char = aFile.getc

    char = char.each_byte { |ch| } 

    array.push char

    first = array.first

    rest = array.reverse

    rest.pop

    rest = rest.reverse

    t2 = insert(first, rest)

    

    if char == "\n"

     array.clear

    end

  end



    print t2

    print "\n"

end
