From: Rick Jones Date: 2008-12-19T00:32:33+09:00 Subject: Regular exressions and arguments This should be (and probably will be) a simple answer, but if I have the very basic program of: #!/usr/bin/ruby require arg = ARGV[0] regex = /"#{arg}"/ regex1 = /Test/ a = "this is a Test" if regex =~ a puts "test works" else puts "test isn't working" end With this code, if i inputs ./filename 'Test', how can i get the regex to be correct? I can only think of using the "#{}" to put this inside the expression, but this puts the parenthesis around it... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
