From: Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek Date: 2002-02-18T19:27:07+09:00 Subject: String quoting %Q There's some writing in ProgrammingRuby-0.3a in "Standard Types" about % quoting. I tried different qouting chars in ruby 1.6.6 and those of [0-9a-zA-Z] I tried didnt work. Its not explicitly stated there you should use punctuation for quoting. Perhaps a clarification in the book would solve this? Or have I missed something? BTW: it would be more consistent if strings were quoted %q>string< and %q instead of %q>string> and %q but there's no reason changing an already working implementation
