%()

Hello!

There were some more %xy(data) syntactical charactes added, like the old %q(text)
What is new? - Are there more than these 8 chars now?

thanks
Opti

That does not exist:

$ ruby -ce '%xy(data)'
-e:1: unknown type of %string
%xy(data)
   ^

Please be specific when you ask!

I think he was only referring to all of the percent strings literals.

As for the question, I have not read anywhere that more were added in
ruby 2.4.
Per this page
(File: literals.rdoc [Ruby 2.4.0]),
it does not seem so.

Since OP seems to assume that some were added he should explicitly
mention those. Otherwise nobody has a chance to know what he is
talking about or find out where something went wrong.

Hi,
yeah, someone got it :wink:
ok, I heard that more has been added;
since to_sym is not new, I wonder if sg else has been added (not in 2.4 docu yet)
Maybe I'm wrong.
# Can't mention, since I'm asking for them...

thanks
Opti
