got a super quick question. I'm still new to rails and tried following these two questions but they didn't work for me:[Why does Array.to\_s return brackets?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8829600/why-does-array-to-s-return-brackets) and [ruby 1.9 how to convert array to string without brackets](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19534973/ruby-1-9-how-to-convert-array-to-string-without-brackets). 

I'm trying to show the last message and the date in which it was sent out in my chatroom application. I am able to get the results using this code, but it has brackets around it and I would like to have those brackets removed. Any help here would be amazing, I've attached a screenshot as well. Thank you so much!

**Show.html.erb**

`For the Date: 
<%= chatroom.messages.last(1).pluck(:created_at) %>
For the Last Message in Chatroom: 
<%= chatroom.messages.last(1).pluck(:body) %>`

**DirectMessages Controller**

```
class DirectMessagesController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!

def show
    users = [current_user, User.find(params[:id])]
    @messageduser = User.find(params[:id])
    @chatroom = Chatroom.direct_message_for_users(users)        
    @chatroomall = current_user.chatrooms
    @messages = @chatroom.messages.order(created_at: :desc).limit(100).reverse
    @messagelast = @chatroom.messages.last(1)
    last_message = @chatroom.messages.last
    render "chatrooms/show"
end
private

def chatroomuserlocator
    @chatroomlocator = Chatroom.find(params[:chatroom_id])
end
end

```
