careful here. the condition returns a string, ergo, it will always return true.
also \w does not include the dash char

you may not need this additional if

try eg,

string1 = "/dev/sdb  1949612  102404   1847208   6% /media/4B22-5451"
if m2=string1.match( %r{/media/.+} )
  puts "mediastring=#{m2}"
end

output:
mediastring=/media/4B22-5451

there are simpler ways to solve your objective, but we think you will get there.

happy rubying and best regards,
