And more newbie questions

  1. Is there any Ruby equivalent for Perl’s pos() or pos(SCALAR)
    function?
    This returns or sets the position in a string of the last /g regex
    match.

  2. Looking in google’s ruby history, I saw this question arising for
    the same reason I need it: trying to port Perl’s Text::Balanced
    module. Since that was an old message, and before I reinvent the
    wheel, if someone did this, anyone care to share their port of it?
    Thanks.
