What seems clear is that the entire xml has to be within single quotes, as if it is within double quotes then the \n gets replaced. What I am not clear about is how to tell Ruby when I load the file (I am getting the xml out of a saved file), to put it in single rather than double quotes? Or is there a way to transform it after loading it. When I am reading the file in I get: file = "<BORROWER _SSN=\"a2/PP00nFwWa7I8Jog7bcw==\n\"></BORROWER>" > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<rubyonrails-talk%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
