From: Mayuresh Kathe Date: 2008-09-01T18:39:12+09:00 Subject: string, adding a numeric value to a part Hello, Suppose there's a variable called 'a' with a value = 1. Then I build a string "#{a} is really two", which when printed gives "1 is really two". How could I add a 1 to the a in that string to make it "2 is really two"? Is there some way I could do something like "#{a}.to_i + 1 is really two"? Best, --
