[TxMt] Re: Printing a Backtick from a Ruby Drag Command

This would lead me to believe that somehow, in process of writing ruby that gets interpreted as a snippet, the backtick is actually being used as a backtick, not just another string character.  Do I need to escape this somehow?  I've tried this:

puts "`"

Which still produces nothing.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Is the output of your Drag command interpreted in some additional way, like as a snippet? I believe snippets expand backticks.

In such a case, you should be fine if you produce a backslash before the backtick in your output, i.e. something like puts "\`"
