This came up again today: gsub can take a block

September 8, 2009 Tagged: ruby Comments (View) gsub with a block Did you know gsub can take a block? I didn’t until today. "10 comments".gsub(/ (.+)/) do |words| " <div class='superstyle'>#{words.lstrip}</div>" end # "10 <div class='superstyle'>comments</div>" I like giving the match an intention-revealing name instead of $1 . However, it seems limited. I would have expected $1 to be the first block parameter, $2 to be the second block parameter, etc., but I have only been able to get one block variable.
