Subject: [ruby-talk:22962] Re: How to Convert String to Regex to Perform Exact Match

Thanks a lot for all the replies.  Based on all the inputs, I conclude
that the solution that I sought is

    reg = Regexp.new('\A' + Regexp.escape(str) + '\z')

By the way, what is RAA?  I tried to find MakeRegExp but on the web the
one that I found was MakeRegExp in Perl!

Regards,

Bill
