[jQuery] Re: ruby style string manipulation

[weepy]

another alteration to fix problems with apostrophes

var $s = function(s) {
  p = s.replace(/'/g, '"').replace(/#{/g, "' + ").replace(/}/g, " +
'");
  p = "'" + p + "'";
  return eval(p);
}

this replaces " with ' in your input string, it works best if you use
" " to signify the edge of your string and ' inside : e.g.

$s("#{a}'s cat is #{b} years old")
  ==> Jonah's cat is 30 years old
