the others are right to point you to regular expressions--definitely worth
learning.
But to give you a fish, you can use String's [] method to check for an @ symbol.
if my_string['@'] then
# my_string has an @ in it.
end

David,
I believe that regular expressions is what you may be looking for..
>> s = "(0045) 444-"
=> "(0045) 444-"
>> codes = s.match /(\(\d+\))?\s*(\d{3})(\s*-\s*)?(\d{4})/
=> #
>> codes[0]
=> "(0045) 444-"
>> codes[1]
=> "(0045)"
>> codes[2]
=> "444"
>> codes[4]
=> ""
hth..
