# fr Ilyas:

# # I have this string:

# 

# # Color1 R=144 G=248 B=255

# 

# # Need regular expression for get R,G,B

# # How I can simplify it:

# 

# # lines.gsub!(/Color1 R=(\d+) G=(\d+) B=(\d+)/) {

# # puts $1

# # puts $2

# # puts $3

# # }

# 

# irb(main):026:0\> s = “Color1 R=144 G=248 B=255”

# =\> “Color1 R=144 G=248 B=255”

# irb(main):030:0\>

# r,g,b=(/R=(\d+)\s+G=(\d+)\s+B=(\d+)/).match(s).captures

# =\> [“144”, “248”, “255”]

# irb(main):031:0\> r

# =\> “144”

# irb(main):032:0\> g

# =\> “248”

# irb(main):033:0\> b

# =\> “255”
