HI, this is what my code looks like , somehow the #{host} below is not replaced correctly in the grep,

any clues why ? 

 

 ruby_block "acc-deploy-host" do
 block do
 host=`hostname -s`
 node.set[:acc_deploy] = `cat /local_app/account-rest.properties | grep -i "#{host}" | cut -d":" -f2 `
 puts "value is #{node['acc_deploy']}"

end

 end

Thanks
