Hello all,

I'm getting an erorr that I don't understand.

# My code
while gets.
    break if (/\<\!-{19} ending left_colum -{11}\>/)
end         

# Output:
warning: regex literal in condition

What is a "regex literal"?  How is that different from any other regex?
I just want to read a text file and skip all the lines until I arrive at
the one matching the expression above.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?  I really can't.

Thanks.
