abstract:

<component timestamp= name=some_name.dll />
as you can probably tell, this doesnt look good. Could some kind soul let me know how to put the " char correctly into my output please?
Cheers

But, my issue is that it is giving me:
<component timestamp= name=some_name.dll />

1. #!/usr/bin/ruby

4. f.puts %Q{<component timestamp="" name="#{x}" />}
5. f.close()

Copy Code

Note that %q won't substitute #{x} and will leave it in literally, whereas %Q will interpolate the variable.
