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

Hi Brian and David,

Thanks.  I'm doing more experimenting and I'm also looking at the source 
code.  I need to drag down the latest.  I'm looking at 1.9.1 p243 right 
now.

Regexp.new has a third optional argument -- it is sorta described in the 
Pick Axe book but the code looks wrong.  It can be either 'n' or 'xN' 
where x can be anything.  Perhaps that is gone in the latest code.

But the "fixed encoding" is a key part of the puzzle I was missing. 
Also, David, I had not bumped into the ENC_UTF8 constant yet.  There are 
quite a few constants (like the 16 pointed out by David also) is a flag 
to make the encoding "fixed".

The latest code that David posted answers exactly what my original 
question was.  Thanks!
