  if "pass" is not a method or a local variable, you will also need to 
quote that...

string1 = "/dev/sda1"

if string1 =~ /\/dev\// then
   puts "pass"
end

  Rob's suggestion from your string manipulation post is also a handy 
one, i find reading regexes easier when they are written as %r{/dev/}, 
rather than /\/dev\//
