Subject: [ruby-talk:29888] string variables within strings

Dear Ruby experts,

I have a problem with adding the contents of string variables into
another string, which I'm sending to a TCP Server.

I think the following syntax should work.....

t.send("/gettext( #{v} ,#{v1} ,0)\n",0)

where v is a variable containing the string 720
and v1 is a variable containing the string 735

/gettext is a command recognised by my TCP Server whose sysntax is...

/gettext(start character position, end character position, plain text
mode)
so when sending...  
t.send("/gettext( #{v} ,#{v1} ,0)\n",0)
My TCP server responds saying that there are not enough parameters!

However, if I send this instead...
tsend("/gettext(720,735,0)\n",0)

my TCP server responds correctly. all I'm doing here is replacing #{v}
with
its contents and #{v1} with its contents.

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Have a great new year's celebration too !

Regards

Paul
