Subject: Re: Regexp problem for template language

Using split instead of scan and a slightly different regex:

require 'test/unit'

TokenizationRegexp = /(\{%.*?%\})+/  # Note different regex

class ParsingTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def test_tokenization
    text = "Hello im liquid this: {% is a tag %} curly brackets like
this { may appear in the text } please parse me"
    assert_equal ["Hello im liquid this: ", "{% is a tag %}", " curly
brackets like this { may appear in the text } please parse me"],
    text.split(TokenizationRegexp)  # Note: using split
  end

  def test_tokenization_without_curly
    text = "Hello im liquid this: {% is a tag %}"
    assert_equal [ "Hello im liquid this: ", "{% is a tag %}"],
text.split(TokenizationRegexp) # Note: using split
  end
end

Watch out for gmail's line breaks!

HTH,
