As is, with my install (ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]) I get this for the 4th: 4. %s = %d %s = %d Date = 0 But don't get an error. I think it's a precedence problem. My guess is % binds tighter than +, but I haven't verified that. Adding some ()'s around the strings and it works like you'd expect. puts ("4.\n %s = %d\n" + " %s = %d\n" + " %s = %d\n") % [ :Date.to_s, date, :Description.to_s, description, :Amount.to_s, amount] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
