That's close. You want something like /\A([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)\s+([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)\s+([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)/
Which gives you irb(main):021:0> x => "Having Jane Smith" irb(main):022:0> x =~ /\A([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)\s+([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)\s+([A-Z] +[a-zA-Z]*)/ => 0 irb(main):023:0> $1 => "Having" irb(main):024:0> $2 => "Jane" irb(main):025:0> $3 => "Smith" On Mar 5, 12:21 am, Brijesh Shah <[email protected]> wrote: > first you have to check whether there is three capital words are there > or two.. > > if str.match(/([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]* [A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]* [A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)/) > # Do something > > elsif str.match/([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]* [A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)/ > > # Do something > end > > I hope this will help u.. > > Thanks > > Brijesh Shah > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
