@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"]

@string =~ %r{(#{ array.map{|s| Regexp.escape(s)}.join('|')})/(\S+)}
p $1,$2

browser,version = @string.match(
  %r{(#{ array.map{|s| Regexp.escape(s)}.join('|')})/(\S+)}).
  captures
p browser,version
