[BioRuby] Bio::PubMed.efetch, bug?

[Masahide Kikkawa]

Hi,


  I recently installed bioruby-1.3.0 and encountered a bug.

Here is what I did
result = Bio::PubMed.efetch([123,456,789])

I expected the result to be Array of MEDLINE formatted String
as documented here:
http://bioruby.org/rdoc/classes/Bio/PubMed.html

However, the return value was one String containing all the results.

In the bioruby-1.2.1, it does return Array of MEDLINE formatted String.

Therefore I would recommend to apply following patch to ncbirest.rb

<
<     result.strip!
<     if opts["retmode"] == "text"
<       result = result.split(/\n\n+/)
<     end
<
<     return result
---
 >     return result.strip
 >     #return result.strip.split(/\n\n+/)
