I would like to join two regular expression, actually place a regexp _inside_ another one, like: IP_ADDRESS = %r{(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}} RESPONSE = %r{SERVER IP_ADDRESS} In RESPONSE, IP_ADDRESS should be the pattern that matches an IP address, but I don't figure out how to do that. Could you please help me? Thaks a lot, Ed -- Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. -- George Bernard Shaw
