Thanks Marnen! I will surely look into back references next time. Before I got your answer, I managed to do this manually by replacing "Spec" then "spec" when preceded with each of the special characters: @ : ' " / - ! space. I downloaded and used "Name Mangler" to replace "spec" in file names. While tedious, you are right that it is not too difficult. Cucumber seems to work now. I am ready to dive into BDD.
Thank you so much for your help. Vincent On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 11:07 PM, Marnen Laibow-Koser <[email protected]>wrote: > Learn by Doing wrote: > > Thanks Marnen.
