A regular expression will do just fine.
entries.each do |entry|
puts entry if entry =~ /^jpg_image/
end

Subject: simple get file by filename
Consider this:
I have a list of files that I get by calling:
Dir.entries("/")
I just want to search this list and match the file name that matches
1_1.* ( i.e. the filename without the extension)
So, for example, If the pattern to match against the list was
"jpg_image." it should return the filename "jpg_image.jpg" (assuming
the file exists).
What's the most succinct way to do this in ruby?
