Question

When I try to run my file

$ ruby file.rb

I get

file.rb:5:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `str' for main:Object (NameError)

The file doesn’t seem to recognize str.scan. My line is

@file_split = str.scan(/ \+\d{11} /)

I’m missing something that I should require?

Fixed: I was missing the variable name!

Answer 1

str variable should be initialized in the file.rb. For example like that:

str = ' [phone] '

and then do you thing

@file_split = str.scan(/ \+\d{11} /)
