Ok, one last question and I think I've got this.
How is Ruby interpreting this string?
"--#{salt}--#{password}--"
For example let's say....
salt = 1234
password = 5678
Is Ruby seeing
"--#{1234}--#{5678}--"
or
"--#1234--#5678--"
or
"--1234--5678--"
This is really just my ignorance of how Ruby interprets variables in
strings. Sorry in advance for the dumb question.
Thanks for your assistance.
