try,

input1 = "Matz's Ruby is my favorite language"

=> "Matz's Ruby is my favorite language"

regs = [/ruby/i , /rails/i]

=> [/ruby/i, /rails/i]

regs.map do |re| re=~input1 end

=> [7, nil]

regs.group_by do |re| re=~input1 end

=> {7=>[/ruby/i], nil=>[/rails/i]}

In this case it's easier to use one regexp:

/r(?:uby|ails):\s*$/i

input1 = "ruby is my favorite language"

porblem is not the porper way getting regexp in loop .It's returning

Please show the code and the error.

You can do

if regexps.any? {|rx| rx =~ s}
  puts "any matched"
end

r = regexps.find {|rx| rx =~ s} and
  puts "#{r} matched"

puts "#{regexps.select {|rx| rx =~ s}} all matched"

Kind regards
