Subject: String.match on variable holding a regex?

Hi, I'm having a little problem with matching a regex against a string.
I am storing data in mysql as a regex.  At some point I need to match a
string to this regex.  Here is what I am working with:


result = @dbconn.query("SELECT id, to_user_regex FROM next")
                result.each do |row|
                        @to_user_regex = row[1]
                        @messages << row[0] if
@user.match(/@to_user_regex/)
                end


So lets say @user is a string holding 'name1' and @to_user_regex is
'name1|name2'.  I'm trying to match this.  Does anyone have any ideas as
to why this wouldn't be matching?

Thanks!
