Hi, I was looking at ruby regular expressions and noticed that the following commands all returned the same results: "string"['r'] --> "r" "string"[/r/] --> "r" "string"[/[r]/] --> "r" How does Ruby handle regular expressions? Does Ruby handle the expression exp as 'exp' or /exp/? This might be confusing especially since "st'r'ing"[' 'r' '] returns a parse error. Leads appreciated.
