From: "Ara.T.Howard" Date: 2004-03-09T14:54:38+09:00 Subject: bizare yaml values i have tk gui which owns a config object - derived from hash. i have an options menu configured with a callback that updates this has and another menu that allows one to view this hash as a 'to_yaml' string. after updating it the values seem correct (inspect) and my code works properly, however the to_yaml output shows bizarre values where it has been updated such as *id001 &id001 the code in question is much to long to post, but i'm wondering what the meaning of such values might mean and what type of situation might create them. i'm guessing it may have something to do with proc bindings and the present value of a hash... but i'm pretty much at a loss at where to start looking even... -a -- =============================================================================== | EMAIL :: Ara [dot] T [dot] Howard [at] noaa [dot] gov | PHONE :: 303.497.6469 | ADDRESS :: E/GC2 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305-3328 | URL :: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/ | TRY :: for l in ruby perl;do $l -e "print \"\x3a\x2d\x29\x0a\"";done ===============================================================================
