Hehe.. Awesome!!!!!!!
Ok.. one last thing.. : key being a variable.
How would you knock this one out? Instead of the string "key", lets
repace the occurance of the key variable, which in this case is "key"
but could be another string..
key = "key"
wrapper = ["<b>", "</b>"]
strings = ["blahblahKEY", "asdfasdfkey", "Keyasdf", "xxkEYxx",
"xxKeyxxKEY"]
strings.each do |string|
puts string.gsub(/key/i) {|match| "<b>#{match}</b>"}
end
