Really basic question.

convert from a double quotes string to a single quotes string.

I could be misreading, but I thought it was a simple question of how to
change double quotes to single quotes.

try
var = ‘“this”’
var.gsub!(’"’,"’")

Try this one :-
str = ‘“hai”’
puts str
puts str.sub(/^"(.*)"$/, ‘’\1’’)

Thanks guys, was having some issues creating headings based on an
array of column names from the DB acquired using User.column_name
where “User” is the table. Turns out my problem was unrelated in the
link_to code…should have went to bed sooner.
