Regular Expresion Needed

[Matt White]

Hello,

I am fairly new to Ruby. I have some good Perl experience and I need
to "translate" a regex in Perl over to Ruby. Here's what I have:

$_ = 'abc123def456ghi789jkl';
while(m/(\d{4})/g)
{ print "$1\n"; }

Which outputs:
123
456
789

Ruby doesn't seem to have the same modifiers that Perl does (that
handy little g). How can I get this same output in Ruby? Thanks!

'abc123def456ghi789jkl'.scan(/\d{3}/).each{|m| puts m}

'abc123def456ghi789jkl'.scan /\d{1,4}/ do |x| puts x end
'abc123def456ghi789jkl'.scan /\d{1,4}/ do puts $& end
'abc123def456ghi789jkl'.scan( /\d{1,4}/) { |x| puts x }
'abc123def456ghi789jkl'.scan( /\d{1,4}/) { puts $& }
