ok, that makes sense. I did check out the docs on 
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
I clicked the =~ method under Regexp and it sends me to
rxp.match(str) => matchdata or nil
Returns a MatchData object describing the match, or nil if there was no 
match. This is equivalent to retrieving the value of the special 
variable $~ following a normal match.

which didn't say anything about indexes. Are there any other sites that 
have different documentation?
