text = "I fixed bug #1234 and #7895 "
regex = /#(\d*)/
m = regex.match(text)
puts m.inspect #<MatchData "#1234" "1234">
In the above case why I am not seeing 7895? What’s the correct solution?
Regexps only match the first occurrence (or not at all, of course).
#(\d*)matches#1234first, so that piece of text is returned.If you want multiple matches, i.e., you want to search a string, use
String#scanor something similar.
