I could be misreading, but I thought it was a simple question of how to
change double quotes to single quotes.
try
var = ''"this"''
var.gsub!(''"'',"''")
Cheers

Re: String to String?
Thanks guys, was having some issues creating headings based on an array of column names from the DB acquired using User.column_name where "User" is the table. Turns out my problem was unrelated in the link_to code....should have went to bed sooner.
