I've found an older thread regarding escape sequences and gsub - but I
did not understand all of the explanation. I am trying to replace the
following string portion
\$\symbol{92}
with
$
and from the older thread it looks as if something like the following
is required:
gsub!(/\\$$\\symbol{{92}}/,'$')
after about three hours of fiddling with the above expression the best
I've obtained has been with
gsub!(/\\symbol{92/,'$')
but this does not solve the substitution problem. I must be using the
wrong escape sequence for $ and }.
Does anyone have any recommendations or pointers to documentation on
escape sequences and gsub? Thank you in advance for your advice.
best regards, James Cunningham
