break if status =~ /variable/ wildcard possible in Ruby?

[Mmcolli00 Mom]

Can you use a wild card with a variable? I have StrgErrFieldName as a
variable that will hold a number of possible status ids. I want to
search on what is in the variable. However =~ only works with strings so
I have tried putting the variable in inside the '/'. Ruby doesn't like
it. What do you suggest I do? Please help me out. Thanks. Mom mmcolli00

while true
status = ie.status()
break if status =~//+StrgErrFieldName+//
ie.send_keys("{TAB}")
end

Try this:
break if status =~/#{StrgErrFieldName}/

ie.send_keys("{TAB}")
end

Can you use a wild card with a variable? I have StrgErrFieldName as a
variable that will hold a number of possible status ids. I want to
search on what is in the variable. However =3D~ only works with =20
strings so
I have tried putting the variable in inside the '/'.

Use #{var}.

irb> s=3D"abcdef";
irb> m=3D"b";
irb> s =3D~ /#{m}/
=3D> 1
