escape character with decimal value
in [Ruby]
|
From: Roger Pack on 3 Jun 2010 19:08 I'm familiar with "\xnn" to escape a hex value in a string. Is there any way to escape a character with a decimal value? "#{197.chr}" works but doesn't seem like an escape per se... Thanks. -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There is octal irb(main):008:0> "\011" => "\t" But not decimal AFAIK. You would have to do the unescaping yourself, e.g. irb(main):018:0> s = '\\33' => "\\33" irb(main):019:0> s.gsub(/\\([1-9]\d*)/){ $1.to_i.chr } => "!"
