I guess I was just surprised to find this something that's more possible in Ruby-1.9. I'll still probably end up just translating to a proper parser but it was easy to use the regexp engine to start with. The below snippet is equivalent to my perl but does return the capture. require 'pp'
re = %r{
# Grammar rules go here
(?:
(?<thing>.+)
){0}
# Invoke grammar here
\g<thing>
}
m = re.match( 'text' )
puts m['thing'] # puts "text\n"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
