Hei,

s = 'abcde_abcde_abcde'

Thanks Andrea. But is there a way to also find the locations (indexes)
of the 'b' characters?

irb(main):012:0> s="a "*5
=> "a a a a a "
irb(main):013:0> s.scan(/a+/) { p $~, $~.offset(0) }
#<MatchData "a">
[0, 1]
#<MatchData "a">
[2, 3]
#<MatchData "a">
[4, 5]
#<MatchData "a">
[6, 7]
#<MatchData "a">
[8, 9]
=> "a a a a a "
irb(main):014:0>

Kind regards

robert
