Subject: String interpolation method?

Ok, I'm being stupid probably...

But I can't spot a method to do string interpolation.

I have a string...

a = 'bra#{c}ket'

The variable c isn't available at the stage of setting that up. Hence
the use of '' instead of "".

The variable will be available later....

At that stage I want to do something like...

c=' see '
a.interpolate

The closest I can get is a bit fugly...

eval "\"#{a}\""
=> "bra see ket"

Any better way?

Thanks,
