Instance Method Details

#to_re(opts = {}) ⇒ Regexp?

Note:

This method was renamed from to_regexp to to_re due to bug in MRI, see #11117.

Returns a regular expression represented by this string.

Examples:

'/^foo/'.to_re                  # => /^foo/
'/foo/i'.to_re                  # => /foo/i
'foo'.to_re                     # => nil

'foo'.to_re(literal: true)      # => /foo/
'^foo*'.to_re(literal: true)    # => /\^foo\*/

'/foo/'.to_re(detect: true)     # => /foo/
'$foo/'.to_re(detect: true)     # => /\$foo\//
''.to_re(detect: true)          # => nil

'/foo/'.to_re(multiline: true)  # => /foo/m

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options

Options Hash (opts):

  • :literal (Boolean) —

    treat meta characters and other regexp codes as just a text. Never returns nil. (default: false)

  • :detect (Boolean) —

    if string starts and ends with a slash, treat it as a regexp, otherwise interpret it literally. (default: false)

  • :ignore_case (Boolean) —

    same as /foo/i. (default: false)

  • :multiline (Boolean) —

    same as /foo/m. (default: false)

  • :extended (Boolean) —

    same as /foo/x. (default: false)

Returns:

  • (Regexp, nil) —

    a regexp, or nil if :literal is not set or false and this string doesn't represent a valid regexp or is empty.
