Subject: Re: How do I set the encoding on a regexp ?

Perry,

In 1.9 there is only one optional parameter.

You can force the encoding of the string parameter (if needed)
AND also pass the options parameter.

Try this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

s = "string"
puts s.encoding
r = Regexp.new(s.encode("utf-8"), Regexp::ENC_UTF8)
puts r.encoding

Here is the output:

US-ASCII
UTF-8
