I like the idea of Ruby t-shirts, but your code snipet is rather long for a t-shirt. It has to be quick and catchy. How about this: a, b = b, a Who needs temp variables?

Doesn’t sound that hard. Could someone remind me how to use the File.eachline method? (I know I’ve gotten it at least partially wrong there). Or could someone give me a link to PickAxe so I can look it up?

Quite right. The part I can’t remember was one of those “implicit loop” things that I never use… BTW, var = Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(var)) will also do that conversion… probably more than two ways… 😉 As for interpolating a variable into a regex, I’m not sure whether it does automatic escaping or not. I’d like to think it does, but there may be some good reason it doesn’t.
