I came across an example in the Ruby documentation and am confused about it’s exact meaning. I am referring to =~. The sample below uses it, but I’m not sure what it’s purpose over say == is.

a = %w{ a b c d e f }
a.select {|v| v =~ /[aeiou]/}   #=> ["a", "e"]

    if v =~ /[aeiou]/ # if this value matches this regex
if v == /[aeiou]/ # if this value IS this regex

    See the difference?
