  • in Ruby, there's a better way. You can use the %q operator to apply single-quoting rules, but choose your own delimiter to mark the beginning and end of the string literal.


    puts %q!c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt!
    puts %q/c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt/
    puts %q^c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt^
    puts %q(c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt)
    puts %q{c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt}
    puts %q<c:\napolean's documents\tomorrow's bus schedule.txt>
  • puts %Q!Say "Hello," #{name}.!
    puts %Q/What is "4 plus 5"? Answer: #{4+5}/
