I don't follow...

irb(main):006:0> a="abc"
=> "abc"
irb(main):007:0> a =~ /^abc$/
=> 0
irb(main):008:0> a="abcd"
=> "abcd"
irb(main):009:0> a =~ /^abc$/
=> nil
irb(main):010:0> a="aabc"
=> "aabc"
irb(main):011:0> a =~ /^abc$/
=> nil
irb(main):012:0> a = "something else with abc in it"
=> "something else with abc in it"
irb(main):013:0> a =~ /^abc$/
=> nil
