Suppose you were doing something like capitalizing the vowels in a string: str.gsub(/aeiou]/) { $&.upcase } But suppose you didn't want to use $&, butt wanted to use a MatchData object md and reference md[0]. Is there a good way? TIA, Hal -- Hal Fulton Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
