From: Corbin Date: 2008-03-14T15:44:57+09:00 Subject: using backticks with xml I don't know why I can't do this but I'd like to use backticks in ruby to import some xml into a program on the command line. e.g. `java -cp myjar.jar Importer %Q{@xml}` the problem is that the @xml needs to be escaped so that the double quotes can be placed inside double quotes so that it can be read in correctly... can this be done?
