For StringScanner it uses the one last in source order. ```ruby require 'strscan' re = /(?value)|(?other branch)/ scanner = StringScanner.new("value") scanner.scan(re) scanner.named_captures #=> {"test" => nil} "value".match(re).named_captures # => {"test" => "test"} scanner = StringScanner.new('other branch') scanner.scan(re) scanner.named_captures #=> {"test" => "other branch"} "other branch".match(re).named_captures # => {"test" => "other branch"} ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
