mtch.values_at(index, ...) -> array
Uses each index to access the matching values, returning an array of the corresponding matches.
Example
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138: The Movie") m.to_a #=> ["HX1138", "H", "X", "113", "8"] m.values_at(0, 2, -2) #=> ["HX1138", "X", "113"] m = /(?<a>\d+) *(?<op>[+\-*\/]) *(?<b>\d+)/.match("1 + 2") m.to_a #=> ["1 + 2", "1", "+", "2"] m.values_at(:a, :b, :op) #=> ["1", "2", "+"]
