We could look at it and try to infer patterns and rules from a single example that is not even real data, but we would have to make lots of assumptions that could easily turn out to be false, especially since you're saying you expected the result to be '*.doc' in the summary at the end. What do you need a regex for at all? Also you have a syntax error, but it's easy enough to guess where the string should have been terminated. You should answer these questions, because, looking at your regex, I doubt it does what you intend it to. And if it does do what you intend it to, it is probably not for the reasons you think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
