Daniel,
 
here's a function to do what you want ... 
 
class String
def bencode?
if  /^([1-9]+\d*):/.match(self)==nil
return  false
else
number=eval((/(^([1-9]+\d*)):/.match(self))[1])
rest_of_string_length=self[self.index(':')+1..-1].length
if number==rest_of_string_length
return true
else
return  false
end
end
end
end


Best regards,
 
Axel
