I’m writing a script that is looking through a file for the following
lines
something
and replacing it with
something - info about the something
my problem is that I can’t find info about searching for the “*”
character.
I’ve been reviewing the regular expression docs and can only find the
usage for “*” and not how to search for #{stuff}
any help would be great.

- is a special character for regular expressions, so you have to escape
it:
/*something*/

Knew it was something stupid
Thanks

Regexp.escape(“something”) is handy too.
