You'll need to create a sub-expression capturing the title. Sub-expressions are denoted in a regular expression with parenthesizes. You already have one in your with (PROGRAM|PROGRAMMES). If your regex matched a given step the title would be either PROGRAM or PROGRAMMES depending on what the step description looked like. You probably want to use a non-matching sub-expression for PROGRAM|PROGRAMMES so it doesn't get captured (and thus passed in as a block parameter). Try this: Given /a (?:PROGRAM|PROGRAMMES) title of '([^']+)'/ do |title| end Which should match the step with the name Given "a PROGRAM title of 'foo bar baz thingy majoo'" -- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com http://www.mutuallyhuman.com _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
