Subject: Re: replacing a character in a string

Umm, what exactly makes you think it isn't working?
It is working, but for sub, not gsub.

sub replaces the first, gsub replaces all

Also, you don't need to do this in an if statement.  If the underscore
isn't present, sub and gsub won't complain.

#Probably what you want.
cal_name.gsub!('_',' ')

Good luck,
