y = TEST
you meant, didn’t you?
x = “time”
y = ‘TEST’
acl.gsub(/x/,y)
How do I get gsub to use the value of x rather “x” itself in my match?
You can use the #{ruby code} notation that evaluates the ruby code and
inserts
the value like in double quoted strings.
In your case that would be something like:
acl.gsub(/#{x}/,y)
Though the content of x should not be interpreted, you should write:
acl.gsub(/#{Regexp.escape(x)}/,y)
thanks
you are most welcome,
