Hi! I’m currently reading about regular expressions in Ruby U.  
Guide[http://www.rubyist.net/~slagell/ruby/](http://www.rubyist.net/%7Eslagell/ruby/).  
I copy and then paste the program, save it to regex.rb. I ran it but  
there  
are no different colors like that show matched with a regular  
expression.  
I’m using Mandriva 2009.1, using gnome-terminal.
