Try to_str and if that doesn't work try to_s (supported by almost all classes)
--Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of beth ferguson Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 10:23 AM To: Watir Mailing List Subject: [Wtr-general] string split after ie.contains_text theText= $~ = $ie.contains_text(/Event\# ([0-9]+)([0-9]+)([0-9]+)([0-9])/) puts (theText); b = theText.split(/\d/) b.push(theText.sub(b[0],"")) puts b The above snippet does not work if theText is gotten via the contains_text method. (I get the following error: ./createEvent.rb:40:in `userCreateEvent': private method `split' called for #<MatchData:0x304f3f0> (NoMethodError) from someTest.rb:88) However the snippet does work if I hand it the string ("Event# 1234"). Is there a ToString() method or something like that , that I can use to make theText into a flat string rather than a method referent.
