Subject: [ruby-talk:14832] Re: Completely freaky behavior

I'm working on RubyDoc. My RegExp was doing something like so:
    case line
    when /\s*@author\s+(.*)/
        @author = $1
    ...
I was then testing the program on itself, so when it saw the line @author =
$1, it was setting @author to "= $1". In another section of the program, I
was setting @author = nil, with the same effect. Changing the RegExp to
/\s*#\s+@author\s+(.*)/ solved the problem.

Incidentally, RubyDoc is coming along quite well, I'll post a note about it.

Thanks for the replies!
