Regular expression challenge
Raw
match_do_regex
I need a regular expression that matches the word 'do' on this line:
things.each do |x|
but not on this line:
x = "do your worst"
Specifically, I'd like to match on the word 'do' only when it is NOT followed by a quote character later on the same line.
