Subject: Re: Multiple gsub statements in one line possible?

Joe- Good point. I guess I don't need an in-place gsub (!)

Forgive me for stating the obvious... Do you have to do in-place gsub?  Can
you get away with this?:

pkg_bug_base = pkg_bug_base.gsub(/<sp_num>/,
sp_num_string).gsub(/<rel_num>/, rel_num)
