Subject: [ruby-talk:23289] RegExp question

I need to scan text and treat some punctuation (brackets, slashes) as if
they were word characters, but not others (periods, commas).

I essentially would like to re-define the set that \w uses then I could
simply use:

  /\w+/

I'm too much of a regexp novice to know how to make this work. Any help
would be appreciated. Thx.

Chris
