[TxMt] Re: Properly escaping characters in ruby script

If this is a TextMate command you can do:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/escape"

arg = STDIN.read
arg.chomp!
system("pointfree #{e_sh arg}")

Ok, that helped some, but I ended up using e_as instead as the appropriate method. However, I still can't get it to escape backticks properly. Here's the script now:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/escape" arg = STDIN.read arg.chomp! arg = e_as arg arg.gsub!("`", "\`") puts("pointfree "" + arg + """)

The puts is just for debugging purposes. When I run this command on the selected text:

\x y -> x `div` y

I am hoping to get:

pointfree "\x y -> x `div` y"

But I get this instead:

pointfree "\x y -> x \x y -> x div\x y -> x `div y"
