Question

i need to match only text into “”.

I tried with this code, but dosen’t works 🙁

text = ""This is an example text to be mathed""
text.scan(/^(")$(")/)

Thanks in advance.

So your example doesn’t work because your string is malformed. That is, “”boo”” isn’t a Ruby string. You could use single quotes to make a string with double quotes in it and do the match, like so:

>> boo = '"Sample text to be matched"'
=> ""Sample text to be matched"\n"
>> boo.scan(/"(.*)"/)
=> [["Sample text to be matched"]]
