Ruby array [ ] how can I get rid of quotations on the browser

Simple question. I am using Ruby V1.9.3 and I type;

<%= f_array = ['a','b','c'] %><br>
<%= f_array.join(' , ') %><br>

but they show up on the browser as;

["a", "b", "c"]
a,b,c

As far as I remember (until Ruby V1.8.3), it used to show up like; 

abc
a,b,c

Did Ruby change their specification or did I miss something??

You error is here

<%= f_array = ['a','b','c'] %>

The statement <%= represents a print statement. Change it to

<% f_array = ['a','b','c'] %>

and the line will not be printed. ["a", "b", "c"] is the result of the inspection of an array.

2.1.5 :003 > puts ['a','b','c'].inspect
["a", "b", "c"]

For what it is worth, the code has another issue. Your view should not contain assignments. That's part of the business logic of your application.
