Re: [Pharo-users] How to take care that the + before a number is ignored

Just realized that String>>#asNumber works differently in Pharo and in Squeak.

'+3' asNumber "Works in Squeak, not in Pharo"
BUT

'+3' asInteger "Works in both Squeak and Pharo"

 I am not using a file, but copy/paste my puzzleInput into a puzzleInput method.
Then I use lines from there.
e.g. shifts

    ^ self puzzleInput lines collect: [ :each | ((each beginsWith: '+') ifTrue: 
[ each allButFirst ] ifFalse: [ each  ]) asNumber ]
Because the challenge is personalized and it is annoying to have to commit a 
supplementary file in the github repository.

Exactly!
It's easier to manipulate that OrderedCollection that to open/reopen the file.  
It'll be VERY handy for problem #2 where you will need to iterate multiple 
times on the data!  ;)

oke, and if I understand your code files is then the variable that holds 
the file.
