Hello,
Because of the embedded single quote, this statement does not work.
%w[it's you're they're]
Escaping it with the backslash does not work either:
%w[it\'s you\'re they\'re]
How do I escape the single quote and other special characters in this instance?
Thanks!

I don't understand. It seems to work fine for me:
irb(main):001:0> %w[it's you're they're]
=> ["it's", "you're", "they're"]

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "does not work":
irb(main):002:0> %w[it's you they're]
=> ["it's", "you", "they're"]
It seems to work for me...

Maybe what you need to do is escape the spaces.
irb(main):001:0> %w[it's\ you're\ they're]
=> ["it's you're they're"]

(blushing) I don't understand ... I was using SciTe, and I couldn't
get it to work. But now it works.
Sorry for the wasted time on your part. And thanks!
Cheers!
