Does Python Regex group symbol ( ?: ) work in Ruby?

Hi,

I’m starting to learn Ruby and wondering if Python’s Regex group (?:slight_smile:
symbol works in Ruby.
From my experiments it seems like it does, but I’d like a conclusive
answer.

Thanks,
Sunny

That is not particular to Python. The proper term would be “non
capturing group”.

From my experiments it seems like it does, but I’d like a conclusive
