Subject: [ruby-core:99531] [Ruby master Bug#17110] String.tr unexpected behaviour with backslash
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 05:35:30 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-86991.20200810053529.42821@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-17110.20200810030009.42821@ruby-lang.org

Issue #17110 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

See the document.

> The backslash character `\` can be used to escape `^` or `-` and is otherwise ignored unless it appears at the end of a range or the end of the from_str or to_str:

https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.7.0/String.html#method-i-tr

So you can write `"\\".tr("C\\", "BA")` according to the document.

This seems undocumented, but `\` can be used to escape `\`, so you can also write `"\\".tr("\\\\C", "AN")`.

----------------------------------------
Bug #17110: String.tr unexpected behaviour with backslash
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17110#change-86991

* Author: theplen (Joey Sheets)
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
`"\\".tr("\\","A")` works great, with `"\\"` becoming `"A"`.

`"\\".tr("\\C","AB")` should also output `"A"`, but instead outputs `"\\"`.
