Help with <<-EOF

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I have a piece of code like:
xmlData=<<-EOF
  xml code
EOF

I need to change it into:
xmlData="
  xml code
"

but I don't know why... it doesn't work when I change it into a normal
string.

Any idea?

Are you escaping all double quotes in the string?
Also, why do you need to make the change?

There are no double quotes...

I need to do it because is a requirement from the client :frowning:
(all string should be assigned by ")

Ok... I did it.
I think the problem was a special character at the beginning of the
string.
Thanks for your time.

I'd be curios to hear the reason for this requirement.
