This returns Array, it seems the correct answer I think.

Great.....with @a=riga1.scan(/<(.*?@.*?)>|\(\?\)/).flatten.compact in 
place of
@a=riga1.scan(/<(.*?@.*?)>|\(\?\)/) puts @a.first.class returns String 
and the code now works well.
Sorry but I'm newbie on ruby, can you explain why it works now?
Thank you.
