Question

How do I test if a string contains two or more vowels?

I have the following code, but it only tests 2 vowels adjacent to each other. I just want to know if the string contains two or more vowels regardless of where they appear in the string.

    if /[aeiouy]{2,}/.match(word)
      puts word
    end

Answer 1

You could use scan which returns an array with all the matches:

if word.scan(/[aeiou]/).count >= 2
  puts word
end
