Thanks for clearing that up, didn't know about object_id. Is this behaviour common in programming languages? Seems weird to me. Then again I'm very new to all of this. This means I could do string1 = "abc" string2 = string1 string3 = string2 string4 = string3 and they all will change if I change string 4. What can I do to keep string1 stay the same even if I change string 4? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
