strange ruby error

[Junkone]

i get strange error test.rb.rb:14: syntax error, unexpected '}'

makes no sense as the only time i use } is to close the each block. pl
help
require 'fastercsv'
#put everything in an array
array = FasterCSV.read("c:\\temp\\two.txt")
seconds=0
lastminute=0
array.each{|row|
minute=row[1].split(":")[1].to_i
puts minute
puts lastminute
if(minute =lastminute) then
puts "same as last minute"
seconds=seconds+1
end if
}

You have an extra `if' after the last `end'.

You have a number of small syntax/logical errors here, I think. First,
the "then" in this line should be removed:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 if(minute =3Dlastminute) then

as should the "if" at the very end:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 end if

Also, you probably meant "minute =3D=3D lastminute", not "=3D", which will
assign lastminute to minute (that's probably not what you want).

It should just be:

if minute =3D=3D last_minute
# ...
end
