Hi, Could somebody please show me a way to find, and display multiple regex matches in the same line? Like this:
test_string = "I shot the Sherrif but I didn't shot the Deputy." The word I would like to find is the "shot" and displayed like "shotshot" or like each match could go into a new line like: "shot" "shot" Some ways I tried: regex = /shot/ regex =~ test_string puts $& ------------> # would only match the first match regex = /(shot)*/ regex =~ test_string puts $& -------------> # only applys repetition if the word appears next to each other with no spaces in between like "shotshot". "shot shot" or "shot (some text) shot" would fail. puts regex = test_string.grep/shot/ ------------> # From Ruby 1.9 String are not enumerable therfore it would give a "no method error". I could solve the problem without using regexes but I would like to know how to solve it with regex. I hope I was clear enough in describing the problem. I am new to programming, and ruby is my first language. Kind Regards, Loren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
