This must be something I am doing = wrong.  In a=20 file the output from this
 
x =3D "\"CommaTest, After\",=20 More"
x.gsub!(/\"(.*),(.*)\"/,"#{$1}~#{$2}")
p x
 
is
 
"~, More"
 
 
Run from IRB the output is
 
irb(main):047:0> x =3D "\"CommaTest, = After\",=20 More"
"\"CommaTest, After\", More"
irb(main):048:0>=20 x.gsub!(/\"(.*),(.*)\"/,"#{$1}~#{$2}")
"CommaTest~ After,=20 More"
irb(main):049:0> p x
"CommaTest~ After, = More"
nil
 
What is going on here?
 
Thanks for any help
Ralph
