Multiple gsub statements in one line possible?

Joe- Good point. I guess I don’t need an in-place gsub (!)

Thx!

Forgive me for stating the obvious… Do you have to do in-place gsub? Can
you get away with this?:

pkg_bug_base = pkg_bug_base.gsub(/<sp_num>/,
sp_num_string).gsub(/<rel_num>/, rel_num)

All-

For the string called pkg_bug_base, I’m currently using the following code
to make some substitutions:

pkg_bug_base.gsub!(/<sp_num>/, sp_num_string)
pkg_bug_base.gsub!(/<rel_num>/, rel_num)

Question: Is there a way to put this all on one line? I tried this, but
the code crashed here:

pkg_bug_base.gsub!(/<sp_num>/, sp_num_string).gsub!(/<rel_num>/,
rel_num)
