I will explain you my problem, with a short example code:

------------------------------------------------
a = "Good this kind of work!"
b = "this kind"
puts a[Regexp.new("G.*#{b}.*rk!")]               >> Good this kind of work!"

a = "Good this+kind of work!"
b = "this+kind"
puts a[Regexp.new("G.*#{b}.*rk!")]             >> nil
-----------------------------------------------

I woud like to know if you can implement a method string.to_re which converts a string to a regular expression, i.e.:

Good this+kind of work        >>>>   Good this[+]kind of work


Thank you very much for your wonderful Ruby!
