Subject: Re: String split drops the delimiter

Hi,
A bit of a problem trying to run your code:

irb(main):369:0> data
=> " This is a declarative sentence. And is this a question? Yes! "
irb(main):370:0>  data.gsub!(/(?<=[.?!])/, "\n")
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):370: undefined (?...) sequence: /(?<=[.?!])/
	from (irb):370
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:492
irb(main):371:0>

Also, let's modify the data a bit, thus:

data = ' "Is this a question?" he asked. "Yes!" she exclaimed.'

I'd like to get the sentences:

"Is this a question?" he asked.
"Yes!" she exclaimed.

Rather than below, which is what I'm getting now.

"Is this a question?
" he asked.
"Yes!
" she exclaimed. 

Thanks!
basi
