Question

For example, I have the following code.

str = 'delay loss duplicate etc'
case str
    when /delay/ then
      puts 'delay'
    when /loss/ then
      puts 'loss'
end

I want give.

delay
loss

Is it possible in ruby not break all next conditions when the first coincidence?

I’m not sure case is really what you want here.

str = 'delay loss duplicate etc'
regex = { /delay/ => 'delay', /loss/ => 'loss' }
regex.each { |r, s| puts s if str =~ r } 

If you want another regex, just add a key/value pair to the hash.
