Match string from possible strings

[John Butler]

Hi,

Ive looked about and found some ways to do this but there must be a 1
line quick way in ruby using regular expressions or something.

Basically i have a string "Test" and i want to see if it matches 3
constants that i have defined. If it does then i want to go route a,
and if it doesnt i want to go route b, so:

If "Test" (matches either of the following) string1, string2, string3
route a
else
route b
end

Anyone know the quick way?

This looks like a potential Ruby Quiz challenge.

If "Test" (matches either of the following) string1, string2, string3

Does "match" mean "is equal" or "match a regexp"?

If it is "is equal"
- use include?
- use case

if it means regexp matching
- use [...].grep.empty? for no match
- build a single regexp to match all 3 constants and use =~
- ...

What's wrong with

if string1 == "Test" || string2 == "Test" || string3 == "Test"
