When i try to use:

>> Regexp.new("/regexp/i")
=> /\/regexp\/i/

But it's not what i want - i need:

/regexp/i



How i can convert this proper way?

Try without the quotes

>> Regexp.new(/regexp/i)
=3D> /regexp/i

If that is exactly the kind of string you are expecting, I think you are
stuck with having to use eval.

irb(main):001:0> r = eval("/regexp/i")
=> /regexp/i
irb(main):002:0> r.match("REGEXP")
=> #<MatchData "REGEXP">

If you do not need the options, you could just grab the inner part and
make a regexp out of that:

irb(main):001:0> re = "/som.r.g.x\d+/i"
=> "/som.r.g.xd+/i"
irb(main):002:0> re = "/som.r.g.x\\d+/i".match(/\/(.*)\/[^\/]/)[1]
=> "som.r.g.x\\d+"
irb(main):003:0> /#{re}/.match("someregex1123")
=> #<MatchData "someregex1123">

Not really a great solution, though, as you lose information.

I cannot do this without quotes - i need get it from string. Only thing
i have is "/regexp/i" string.

Thanks!

Regexp.new(/regexp/i)

I should add, for the second approach you could also parse the options
and then manually build up the regexp with the corresponding options.
That is the "non-lazy" way, though

? Without ""?

string="/regexp/i"
Regexp.new(eval(string))

I tried this, but it's totally unsafe way (these strings are provided by
user).

Eval is a mighty tool for a tiny task

option =3D str[-1] # Ruby 1.9, use [-1,1] in 1.8

Regexp::new( str[1..-3], option )
