Sorry for the confusion, my simplified test isn't close enough
to my problem domain ... I'll try again in long form:
I have a CSV file with headers and rows like
"scheme","time_steps","dt"
"1storder",2,0.5
"4thorder",5,1.0
and I am using FasterCSV to read this CSV file to get
a hash of header=>value pairs for each row.
For each row worth of data, I create an output file of the form
&some_weird_name
scheme = "1storder",
time_steps = 2,
dt = 0.5
/
What I'm currently getting is "1storder" without the quotation marks.
I need the data fields to retain their quotation marks like they
have in the original CSV file.
