- Perl-like global operators - especially when it comes to regexps, I seem to keep coming back to $1 and the like. I'd like to think there's a better way to do this, and maybe it just needs more practise on my part, using matcher objects or alternative syntaxes.
$~, $&, $1, etc. are local: def bar p [:bar, $~, $&, $1] "bar" =~ /(bar)/ p [:bar, $~, $&, $1] end p [:foo, $~, $&, $1] "foo" =~ /(foo)/ p [:foo, $~, $&, $1] bar p [:foo, $~, $&, $1] Thanks, Nicholas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
