Subject: Searching Stings with Arrays?

Hi, I've been having a little problem with this. most of my ruby is from
rails and both are shaky.

okay what I've got is a string (which is a browser user agent) and I
would like to search that string with a predefined array of browsers.
I've done this in php so I'm positve an easy solution exists in Ruby

this is what I got
@string = "mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; u; ppc mac os x; en)
applewebkit/418.9.1 (khtml, like gecko) safari/419.3"

array = ["shiira", "msie", "safari",  "firefox", "netscape"]

so I'd like to search the string for any matches, it should stop at
safari and bob's sombodys uncle.

this is what I've been trying to do.
array.find {|b| b == @string}.to_s

this does't work I know, but I'm I in the right direction?
