From: Franz GEIGER Date: 2001-05-27T17:10:05+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:15793] Check a few characters of a string: How? Want to check the first or last character of a string or say any character of a string. Do I really have to write s[0..0] to *not* get a number but to get a *character*? Or even worse: Must I expand String and Array somehow for that? Regards Franz GEIGER
