Delimiter matching: # inside string not surrounding with #{}

[Chris Kutler]

Hello,

Tor wrote to me awhile back that I should document that ....

And if you press “#” inside a string or regular expression, it will surround the text with #{}.

I thought that he meant that if I clicked inside a string (such as "string") and pressed # I would get something like #{"string"}. Instead I get "str#{}ing".

Can someone better explain how to surround text with #{}

That is the expected behaviour, if you want it to wrap any of the contents of the string you need to select the content and then press #.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking straight. I was selecting "string" instead of string (and /abc/ instead of abc).
