Subject: Re: Regex to transform java code to ecma script

Sorry, my mistake..cut and paste is dangerous.  The code should read:

code = "public void myFunction(String foo);"

code =  code.gsub(/(public) (.*?) (.*).*(;)/) {  $1 + ' function ' + $3
+ ':' + $2.capitalize + ";" }

puts code.gsub(/\((String) (foo)\)/,'(\2:\1)')

Thanks again,

Peder :)
