What does !~
do?
Example:
re = /[^\d.,]/
"0.0687987167581341,0.120311605902415,89.8399554017928,198.151088713489" !~ re
I couldn't find any documentation in String or Regexp
The method !~
is the inverse of =~
, that is !(=~)
. From the Ruby Object#!~
documentation:
[obj !~ other ] returns true if two objects do not match (using the =~ method), otherwise false.
So, since String#=~
performs a string/regex match returning the index of the first match if matched and nil
otherwise, String#!~
return false
if matched and true
otherwise.
