[I wasn't sure whether to send this to oro-dev or oro-user. As it deals with the internals of ORO, I have chosen oro-dev.]
Hi all, In perl, I can do: perl -e '$a="\a\b\e\f\r\t\v\007\x07"; $a =~ s/\b/\t/; die unless $a == "\a\t\e\f\r\t\v\a\a"' In ORO, I would expect to do: Perl5Util perl = new Perl5Util(); result = new StringBuffer(); input = new PatternMatcherInput ( "\\a\\b\\e\\f\\r\\t\\v\\007\\x07" ); result = perl.substitute( "s/\\b/\\t/", input); assertEquals( "\007\t\033\f\r\t\013\007\007", result.toString() ); ...without generating an exception (where assertEquals() compares two strings and generates an exception if they do not match). I have skimmed through the source to ORO and searched the archives, but nothing jumped out at me. I am thinking that my code doesn't work because: o I am missing something (most likely) o the design of substitute() is different to what I expect o this is a limitation of substitute() in the current version of ORO o ORO delegates escaping of control characters to Java, which is rather limited in those it will accept Any pointers would be most welcome.
