Subject: Re: Delete Item In Array If Conditions Met

The #reject! method is an iterator; so is the for loop (effectively).
So you're iterating over the array, and then trying to iterate over
individual members of the array. Here's what you want:

@array = Capture.find(:all)
@array.reject! { |item| item.text =~ 'something' }
