How to use Oniguruma in ruby 1.9.2?

Rails

Hello G.s ,

Can anyone explain me how to use Oniguruma in ruby 1.9.2 , I guess in
ruby 1.9.2 its a default library so there is no need to install
externally?

I was using Oniguruma::ORegexp.new( in ruby 1.8.7 .

Thanks
Nishant

Onigurama is the regular expression engine for 1.9.x - /foo/ will use
onigurama

my regular expressions for ruby 1.9.2 , Can you provide me some kind

I changed Oniguruma::ORegexp.new with Regexp.new

for example contents.to_s.gsub!(regular_expression, replace text)
but it returns a nil value and does`nt seem to working as expected

like (</p>)\s+(

) for removing paragraph tags form the content

and i keep recieving this error message in the terminal

/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/activesupport-2.3.11/lib/
active_support/dependencies.rb:406: warning: nested repeat operator +
and ? was replaced with '': /

  • (?:\s+)?(.?)(?:\s+)?</li>/

    I think it’s all backwards compatible - your existing regular
    expressions should still work, but you now also have access to more
    features. Do you have any particular examples of things that aren’t
    working as you expect?
