As stated, #$... in a String will interpolate the $... In your case, there
is a global variable `$"` which it is trying to interpolate, so you think
you're ending the string, but really, that second quotation is part of the
variable name (I assume this was all inherited from Perl). You would need
to do "#$"" For whatever reason, this doesn't work in irb, but it does work
in a Ruby program: ruby -e 'p "#$""'

Anyway, to get around this, escape the hash so that it isn't looked at as
interpolating: ruby -e 'p "\#$"'

Again, just escape the hash
s= "xxxxxx.....\#$yyyyyyyyy"

No, it's just unintuitive.

I don't understand this, why do you want to eval "ABC\267\#$"? It is not
valid Ruby (ignoring the nonsenical characters, it would mean 'look up the
constant ABC', which is presumably not what you're intending). Can you give
examples of inputs and outputs?
