Subject: Regex problem... Tried Searching forum already... :(

I absolutely cannot figure out why this does not find a match! I tried
searching this forum before I posted... I've been stuck for hours on
such a simple problem... I feel retarded.

lines is an array of strings:

  def go(lines)
    reg=/\[trace\-(\d+)\]/

    lines.each do |line|
     puts line.slice!(0,25) #speed... some lines are long
     puts reg.match(line)[1]
    end
  end


Here is an example string:

[trace-2932] Application=3071000

I get this:
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
on the reg.match[1] line.

thanks for looking
