From: Jay McGavren Date: 2007-04-15T14:40:25+09:00 Subject: Not substitution \0, etc. in String.sub? I have a string that happens to contain '\0', which I need to substitute for a %x flag a la sprintf. Unfortunately, the '\0' gets substituted for the initial match. So, this: path = 'C:\Artist\Album\01 Title.mp3' puts '%l'.sub(/%l/, path) ...gives me: C:\Artist\Album%l1 Title.mp3 I'm sure there's some way to disable the substitution that doesn't involve contortions with escaping the backslashes, but I don't know what it is. Anyone?
