 Well, you have a problem here : it will print nothing, and if you replace
 "..." with ".." it will print "match\nnomatch\n"

 You can, perhaps, use #catch

   puts (catch(:end) do
      for i in 0 .. 5
         for j in 5 .. 8
            throw :end, "match" if i == j
         end
      end
      "nomatch"
   end)
