Ooh, I like this one the best.

Being new to ruby I can't answer this myself but why couldn't the String =~
operator notice if it has a block following and do a similar thing to your
example?  I.e.:

var =~ /^(.+)=(.+)$/ do |x,y|
  puts ">>#{x} >>#{y}"
end

This would be absolutely perfect if it could.


Best wishes, James
