In Ruby, how can I check if some file contains some word? I’ve tried this:
foo = File.open('some-file', 'r').read
foo.index(/^word$/)
But this won’t work.

Remeber that
^matches against the beginning of a line, and$matches against the end of a line. So if you search for^xyz$you are really searching for eitherxyz\n(beginning of file) or\nxyz\n(somewhere in the middle of the file). No other strings will match.
