Try this:

file = File.open("name.txt")
columns = []
file.each_line do |line|
columns << line.split(" ")[0]
end
p columns

Hi, there is another solution:

File.open('pp.txt') do |infile|
while line = infile.gets #the loop ends if infile.gets == EOF
line_split = line.split(" ") #split line through spaces; return
vector
puts line_split[0] #the first element of the line is the
number
end
end
