Like gsub but the parameter is matchdata

Is there a mechanism in Ruby that works like

gsub {|x| something}

where x is MatchData instead of String?

I must be blind. I see no MatchData anywhere.

I see match which is a string … but no MatchData.

i think what he meant was like the scan function for string but instead
of
returning String objects, you get MatchData objects.

What exactly do you mean when you say MatchData and not a string. Can you
show a dummy example of what do you want to achieve.
