From: Jonas Pfenniger Date: 2011-01-20T01:58:50+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:34611] [Ruby 1.9-Bug#4294] IO.popen ['"ping"', 'localhost -n 3'] fails Issue #4294 has been updated by Jonas Pfenniger. How is that a bug ? If ping is surrounded by quotes, ruby will look for an executable named "ping" with the quotes around. If ruby starts to magically remove these quotes, I'm not sure it will bring other unwanted side-effect. Buy maybe I missed something. Did it work in 1.8.7 maybe ? ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4294 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
