Date: 2001-08-30T00:41:54+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:20539] (1) ASCII Code, (2) ()-operator Hi Fellows, I've two questions to ask: 1) how do I compare an integer against let's say '\n' or ' ' something like if value == ' ' or value == '\t' or value == '\n' I can do it for 'a' by saying ?a ... but how about special characters and whitespace ? 2) The function and subscription operators: how can I overload them. I'm using ruby 1.6.2. Am I out of date ? Thanks in advance, Frank.
