From: Robert Keller Date: 2007-11-21T03:18:48+09:00 Subject: gsub question on special charaters I have a string that looks like this : ts = "^LThe beginning of the sentence" I want to remove the "^L" I've tried ts.gsub!(/^[\^L]/,'') which removes the "^", but I need to remove the "^L" when they are together and at the beginning of the sentence. Any help is welcome -- Robert Keller -------------------------------------------------- robert.keller@yahoo.com
