Subject: Small improvements ideas ?

Hello, I would like to know how to shorten these two lines

1) doit() if my_string && my_string.downcase == 'hello'
2) doit() if one_var && (my_string =~ /this_regexp/) == nil

Case 1) is a way to check for my_string beeing nil (would break on
downcase call). But it's verbose, nothing better ??

Case 2) I want doit beeing call if regexp don't match. would I use !
(my_string =~ /this_regexp/) but I don't like using ! because it's not
very readable and I can't use not keyword in this case

Thanks
