From: "DM W." Date: 2011-10-21T23:26:24+09:00 Subject: special characters in identifier I am attempting to create data via a ruby script. One of the require fields I need to populate is named: (aard.DLL$) I tried using: :"(aard.dll$)".to_sym => "kimchi" but it did not work. I also tried ":(aard.dll$)".to.sym => "kimchi" :"(aard.dll$)" => "kimchi" Any ideas? I am a novice, but tried searching online for symbol identifiers with special characters and could not find anything. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
