Guys, I'm running into some problems running scripts on Windows that do file path mangling. Problem is that it appears Ruby converts all windows paths to forward slashes as opposed to back slashes...fine by me, but I need to write them out on occasion for consumption by other Windows programs or batch files, and then I have a problem. I know this would be a relatively simple thing to handle on my own, but wanted to know if, by my newness to Ruby, I'm missing a wheel that's already been invented. What's the idiomatic way of handling this sort of problem? Thanks! John
