Find value in an array

Question

In Ruby, how can I find a value in an array?

Answer 1

I know this question has already been answered, but I came here looking for a way to filter elements in an Array based on some criteria. So here is my solution example: using select, I find all constants in Class that start with "RUBY_"

Class.constants.select {|c| c.to_s =~ /^RUBY_/ }

UPDATE: In the meantime I have discovered that Array#grep works much better. For the above example,

Class.constants.grep /^RUBY_/

did the trick.
