When I try to compile Ruby 1.6.1, I get the following error:

[ruby-talk:4734] Possible regex bug?

From: hal9000@...
Date: 2000-09-01 21:10:02 UTC
List: ruby-talk #4734
OK, I'm trying to match an optional comma followed by
one or more spaces...

The sample program regx.rb leads me to believe that
this will work: /,? */

Seems simple enough.

But: p "4.2, 3.1, 5.3".split(/,? */)
gives me  ["4", ".", "2", "3", ".", "1", "5", ".", "3"]
whereas p "4.2, 3.1, 5.3".split(/, */)
makes the comma non-optional but gives me
["4.2", "3.1", "5.3"] as I wanted.

What am I missing here?

Hal
