I'm working on 2 cases:
assume I have those var:
a = "hello"
b = "hello-SP"
b = "not_hello"
1 - Any partial matches
I want to accept any string that has the var a inside, so b and c would match.
2 - Patterned match
I want to match a string that has a inside, followed by '-', so b would match, c does not.
I am having problem, because I always used the syntax /expression/ to define Regexp, so how dinamicaly define an RegExp on Ruby??
