From: RLMuller@... (Richard) Date: 2003-05-25T13:51:55+09:00 Subject: Getting '\' to be used as the separator in Dir.getwd -- how to? I'm running Ruby 1.6.8 over Win2000SP3. Dir.getwd returns the current directory with forward slash as the separator. I tried setting SEPARATOR = "\\" at the beginning of the script, to no avail. Is there a way to get the correct form returned, or do I have to do pattern substitution?
