From: Roeland Moors Date: 2004-06-22T23:52:31+09:00 Subject: sub proces with ' I'm trying to execute a subproces and get the output: files = `ls -1 | sed 's/\..*$//' | sort -u` But it looks like ruby ignores the ' I tried escaping it (\') but that doesn't help. It's the same with popen. Is there a solution to this? (I know I can leave sed away and to that with ruby) -- Roeland
