<p>Unbeknownst to me, there�s a quick way of doing a match &amp; replace on a string in Ruby using just the brackets: (page 588 in the Ruby Book)</p> <code style="font-size: 12px;">a = "bla bla bla"</code><br> <code style="font-size: 12px;">a[/a/i]="A"</code><br> <code style="font-size: 12px;">a =&amp;gt; "blA bla bla"</code><br> <br> Unfortunately it only does one replace instead of a global replace, but I don�t know enough about RegExp�s now to know if there�s a way to do a global replace with this?
