Hi! I couldn't understand the behavior of this code:
match = 'Today is Feb 23rd, 2003'.match(/Feb 23(rd)?/) a = match.to_a puts a.size # 2 puts a.join(",") # Feb 23rd,rd puts a[0] # Feb 23rd puts a[1] # rd In my understanding, /Feb 23(rd)?/ is equivalent to /Feb 23|Feb 23rd/ . So, match should not include 'rd'. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
