I was unable to reproduce this with ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux] and rdoc 3.9.4 Could be an issue with ruby-doc.org? ---------------------------------------- Bug #6488: String#slice example has a syntax error https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6488#change-26884 Author: amorsen (Benny Lyne Amorsen) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel) Category: DOC Target version: 1.9.3 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [x86_64-linux] http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/String.html#method-i-slice has a syntax error: a[%r[aeiou](.)\11//] #=> "ell" a[%r[aeiou](.)\11//, 0] #=> "ell" a[%r[aeiou](.)\11//, 1] #=> "l" a[%r[aeiou](.)\11//, 2] #=> nil Oh, I have just realized that similar problems exist in the other regexp examples on the page, not just for slice. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
