Wrong. The regex says: 1) match start of line(or just after a newline) 2) match a digit 0 or more times 3) match just before a newline (or end of line) You cannot match start of line, followed by any number of digits, followed by the end of line unless the string contains only digits. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
