Subject: [ruby-talk:29614] textsubstitution and quotes



Version: Ruby 1.65 (haven't tried 1.66 yet)


the following does not create a list "a" "b" "c" as expected when creating
s, but s1 works:

a = ['a','b','c']
s="\"#{a.join('" "')}\""
spc='" "'
s1="\"#{a.join(spc)}\""

irb transcript:

irb(main):001:0> a = ['a','b','c']
["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):002:0> s="\"#{a.join('" "')}\""
"\"#a.join('')}\""
irb(main):003:0> spc='" "'
"\" \""
irb(main):004:0> s1="\"#{a.join(spc)}\""
"\"a\" \"b\" \"c\""
irb(main):005:0>

I seems like the scanner in Ruby 1.65 does not properly handle
textsubstitutions when dealing with double quotes.
