Can you direct me to some good online resources where some Ruby methods 
ar listed? I didn't know that there was a method for a string named 
"match" that would return a string and not just chomp of various 
characters. I have a book on Ruby an it is well writen but a list on 
methods broken down to what methods are for which classes would be 
helpful? Thanks,
