My bad. I did #ENV{ instead of #{ENV. It behaves correctly now. I
appreciate the explanation.

Thanks! This works perfectly. However, Austin’s solution does not. I’d

I just tried my version in Windows XP with irb and it produced the exact
result.
With the version provided by Jim Bob, you get a string, create a string, and
then add them to a new string. With mine, you’re only creating one string
through.
irb(main):030:0> profile_path = “#{ENV[‘USERPROFILE’]}\My Documents\”
=> “C:\Documents and Settings\Austin\My Documents\”
