From: Joel Pearson Date: 2013-04-01T18:42:21+09:00 Subject: Re: How to quote variable of an array If you "p" (inspect) a string, then you'll get quotes because that's how they're represented. If you use Jesus' method, you can add whatever you want around the string. Bear in mind though, that the representation of Fixnum 1 is 1, and String 1 is "1". If you manually add quotes you might end up misrepresenting the type of object you're using. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
