ok, that makes sense. I did check out the docs on
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
I clicked the =~ method under Regexp and it sends me to
rxp.match(str) => matchdata or nil
Returns a MatchData object describing the match, or nil if there was no
match. This is equivalent to retrieving the value of the special
variable $~ following a normal match.

which didn't say anything about indexes. Are there any other sites that
have different documentation?

haha, ok you can disregard that, I looked under string and seen what you
were talking about. My bad.

thanks
