Heiler * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Zachary Scott * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.1: REQUIRED, 2.2: REQUIRED, 2.3: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- Hello, The documentation at Regepx.new here: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.3/Regexp.html#method-c-new It shows a lot of information, in particular four ways to call it: new(string, [options [, kcode]]) -> regexp new(regexp) -> regexp compile(string, [options [, kcode]]) -> regexp compile(regexp) -> regexp However, the examples given do not show an example of where 3 arguments are passed. Today this came up on IRC where someone asked how to use respectively what the meaning of kcode is, via example. Can someone add an example of where/when to use 3 arguments to this method please? Thank you. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Improve-documentation-for-Regexp.new.patch (1.55 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
