I don't know whether that's the solution you wanted, but it's short anyway:

ruby rrr02.rb '?*.to_s(base)' '?*.to_s'
Or if the base hadn't been set to two (or there at all):
ruby rrr02.rb '?*.to_s(?c-?a)' '?*.to_s'

Did not think of this, very clever, you can really laugh at me, look what I did:

ruby rrr02.rb '"/".succ.succ + "/".succ + "/".succ.succ + "/".succ +
"/".succ.succ + "/".succ' '"/".succ.succ.succ.succ.succ +
"/".succ.succ.succ'

However what I wanted to show is the following...
SPOILER AHEAD:
















ruby rrr002.rb super 'super()'

underlining the different semantics of super and super().

But you are aware that this is not the optimal solution, right?
The solution I was thinking about is the following:

What? you did not know ;)

I have no idea what went wrong, the messages shows fine from my side:

ruby rrr002.rb super 'super()'

That's funny. I screw up previous writings/pastings inside a post all
the time. This happens mostly when I save as a draft previously :)

Oh I would have no problem to admit that, as I have done before...
But this time the thread looks perfectly normal from my side, do you
see the same fragment that
Sebastian saw?

Cheers

Ok thanks; I have no such massage in the thread.
So the solution seems still unknown, here you go:

ruby rrr002.rb super 'super()'


Thx again Todd
Cheers
Robert

That part was there, too. It was the part after your signature that
made me think it was a cut and paste mishap. Hmm...
