Hi, I come from a little bit of C programming, an I've just started learning Ruby. So forgive me for the stupid question. Following the user guide, I found a regular expression example (rexg.rb), that doesn't work for me. If I try to find an exact pattern everything is fine: for example, searching "foo" in "foobar" returns the correct result. But searching a regexp pattern doesn't: "fo+" doesn't find anything in "foobar". I'm running Ruby 1.8 under Linux. Thank you in advance for your help, Cristiano
