If you know that the part of the string you want is delimited by v= and &, you
can use this:

str.match(/v=([^&]*)/)[1]

Thanks stefano for the responce

There are 2 possible links:

str.match(/v=([^&]*)/)[1]
Is your command valid also for the second link?
Thanks

Yes. The regexp I used looks for the string v= followed by any number of
characters which are not '&'. Those characters are put into the first group of
the returned MatchData. Since your second link doesn't contain the '&', the
match will go on until the end, which should give you what you want.

I have a string that content a link of a youtube page .
Like:

irb(main):001:0> require 'uri'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> res = URI.split('

')
=> ["http", nil, "it.youtube.com", nil, nil, "/watch", nil,
"v=PupR5V9aE2s&test=1", nil]

gives you an array of:

* Scheme
* Userinfo
* Host
* Port
* Registry
* Path
* Opaque
* Query
* Fragment
