I always use regex in this situation:
if str =~ /y/

you can use also Regular Expression:
!("ciao" =~ /i/).nil?
#=> true

The expression he gave uses the =~ operator, not the == operator. It will
work if you try it in IRB (which I suggest you do before you post next
time)...

Along with the other suggestions, it might help you to read up on
regular expressions and what Ruby considers as true for a condition.
3 == false # false
3 == true # false
if 3; puts 'hi'; end # hi
if {}; puts 'hi'; end # hi
if ; puts 'hi'; end # hi

ok, you don't know regexp
do it
but
if str =~ /aeiouy/
do foo
end
doesnt work. or i mena it works but iw ant to chekc if it is a vowel
not if contains the expr aeiouy.
how do i delimit the expressins?

str =~ /[aeiouy]/
This checks if str contains one of those chars. Regular expressions are worth learning more about.

[aeiouy] is a "character class". The regular expression tests if any character in the string is in the class.

Get a good book on regular expressions. Trust me, it will seriously
help you in the long run for most any type of programming/system
interaction. If you want a quick look at some syntax,
http://www.regular-expressions.info might help. Note that, this is
only one of many ways to do what you are trying to do, but I think it
is the best way for this case.

end[aeiouy] is a "character class". The regular expression tests if any
character in the string is in the class.

this way:
if str[x].chr =~ /[aeiouy]/
i can see if a char is any of the chars aeioyu
but i want to see if its not...
if str[x].chr !=~ /[aeiouy]/
doesnt work though...
and why cant i print [ in the windows ruby prompt?

You can do like this:
if str.chr !~ /[aeiouy]/
Or
unless str.chr =~ /[aeiouy]/

how about something like:
if not str.chr =~ /[aeiouy]/ then print "YO\n" end
OR
if str.chr !~ /[aeiouy]/ then print "YO\n" end
