Thanks for everyone's response. My problem was that I needed to switch the
'p' and the 'attr' so it was:

attr =~ /#{p}/

attr is something like: "Component.behavior"
p would be something like: "behavior"

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do.  The examples do
different things.  Can you give sample before and after arrays?  And
what's in attr?
