From: Rick Tan Date: 2010-12-30T09:31:39+09:00 Subject: how can i include a double quote in a string i need to a include a double quote in a string without it being escaped. For example astring="first few characters" bstring="last characters" When i tried newstring = astring + '"' + bstring + '"' newstring ended up as 'first few characters\"last characters\"' What trick can i use to obtain a string 'first few characters "last characters"' out of the 2 string variables. That is for ruby not to escaped the double quote. Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
