Message: [QUOTE="Robert Klemme, post: 4461269"] You can use here documents for that: 10:06:42 [source]: irbsI would like to use ruby to do interesting manipulations of strings. Ideally, I'd be able to copy multiple lines of text from a text editor, paste those lines of text into irb (as a string), manipulate that string, copy the result, and then paste it back into the original editor. I know that sounds like a lot of work, but the manipulations I want to do aren't trivial enough to do with the standard find/replace features of most editors.
