Like% w [text] in Ruby, not including \ n where it wraps the lines

I want to build an array of state abbreviation lists, and since it is long, I want to split it into several lines. However, using% w or% W includes \ n where the lines break.

STATES = %w(AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME\
  MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD\
  TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY)

So "ME"will be "ME\n", like "SD"be"SD\n"

How to solve this problem?

Just strip the slashes and there will be no new string characters or slashes
