Subject: Help needed on a just-for-fun-exercise

Dear all,

I was trying the well-known problem of writing a program that outputs
itself. Here is first trial.

s = "\nprint \"s = \\\"\"\n0.upto(s.length) { |i| printf(\"%c
\", ?s[i]) }\nprint \"\\\"\"\nputs s"
print "s = \""
0.upto(s.length) { |i| printf("%c", ?s[i]) }
print "\""
puts s

However, I am having a difficulty self-printing the literal line. Could
someone help?

Greetings,
JS
