I got the following error below when searching for a name that contained the character 辿. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ') Is there anyway to search a string for these types of characters and then ill decide what to do later?? Some sort of string method like scan or include?? JB -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
