is there a way to convert the strings "Outer" to "Inner" and "outer" to
"inner" with one regular expression?

irb(main):001:0> str = "There are both Outer and Inner Geebles."
=> "There are both Outer and Inner Geebles."
irb(main):002:0> str.gsub( /Outer|Inner/ ){ |sub| sub.downcase }
=> "There are both outer and inner Geebles."

is there a way to convert the strings "Outer" to "Inner" and "outer" to
"inner" with one regular expression?

irb(main):001:0> repl = {"outer"=>"inner","Outer"=>"Inner"}
=> {"Outer"=>"Inner", "outer"=>"inner"}
irb(main):002:0> "outer Outer".gsub!(/outer/i) {|m| repl[m]}
=> "inner Inner"

Kind regards

Oops...I totally misread the question. Sorry.
