Subject: Variable matching

Hi,

Quite new to regex myself, Im trying to match a chunk of the text with 
the following,

chunk = content.scan(/<!--Start Main Content Table -->(.*)<!--fr: End 
Main Content Table -->/m)

That works alright, and its contents returned to the chunk string. Now 
Im trying to do that way,

$start = "<!--Start Main Content Table -->"
$end = "<!--fr: End Main Content Table -->"

chunk = content.scan(/$start(.*)$end/m)

Obviously that doesnt works, suppose because of $ being a special 
variable ? So my question is how to do pattern matching using variables 
like that ?


Thanks !


Rove
