I have the following array :
images = %W(
droido 7midias vigilantes sebrae_mei dpe_saed websat ferpamweb dpe_chronus dpe_plantao
promocast lolitaface dpe_intranet cha_bar clinica_sorriso droido_mascote bom_sabor
)
What I want is a Ruby-Like way to fetch a string as "cha_bar" or just part of string as "cha "
I came up with a very simple result using regular expression and index
images.index{|s| s =~ /cha_bar/}
or
images.index{|s| s =~ /cha/}
This will return the position of String sought.
You can also use the Enumerable#detect (or Enumerable#find ) and it will return the first element that returns true in block condition:
images.find {|s| s =~ /lan/ } # => 'vigilantes'
Or, if you need all the elements that make the condition true, you can use Enumerable#select (or Enumerable#find_all ):
images.select {|i| i =~ /lan/ } # => ["vigilantes", "dpe_plantao"]
