Hi
I want to substitute single quotes in a string but fails unless
resorting to overkill (imho) techniques like blocks:
>> s = "ab'cd"
=> "ab'cd"
>> s.sub("'") {|s| %q{\'} }
=> "ab\\'cd"
As seen this method works but why can't I do something like
>> a.sub("'", %q{\'})
=> "aaabbbbbb"
when
>> a.sub("'", %q{h})
=> "aaahbbb"
works?
Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Erik
