My apologies. Looks like this is normal. http://www.regular-expressions.info/freespacing.html Please close this issue. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12477: Regexp with x modifier does not ignore space in character class https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12477#change-59100 * Author: Daniel DeLorme * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: ruby 2.3.2p120 (2016-05-21 revision 55092) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The x modifier should cause all non-escaped spaces to be ignored in a regexp, right? But consider that ~~~ / [a] /x =~ " " #=> nil / [ ] /x =~ " " #=> 0 ~~~ So spaces inside a character class are always literal, regardless of the x modifier. This has got to be a bug right? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
