I really do not understand the problem you are having, apart from the fact
that you are writing a completion engine.

A completion engine is very easy to write, but the user has to enter the
first characters correctly.

------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/ruby

dictionary = File.read("/usr/share/dict/words")

test = "zeal"

matches = dictionary.scan(/^#{test}.*$/)

puts matches

------------------------------------------

(surprisingly long list of words whose first characters match the test
string)

Maybe you could explain the problem by saying very clearly what you hoped to
accomplish, and, equally clearly, what happened instead.
