Bug #7610

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) almost 12 years ago

=begin 
 Percent literal regexp brings SyntaxError with parenthesis. If I use | as separator, then it works fine, but I use () as separator, then it does not work. 

  $ 

 (({$ ruby -v 
  
 ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-12-23 trunk 38571) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2] 
  
 $ irb 
  
 irb(main):001:0> %r(<telephoneNumber>\(555\)555-5555</telephoneNumber>) 
  
 SyntaxError: (irb):1: unmatched close parenthesis: /<telephoneNumber>\(555)555-5555<\/telephoneNumber>/
