ruby - How to escape # in ruby_expect? -

i want automatize config sessions ruby_expect. there 1 problem. have session prompt console#.

so have code block:

expect /console#/   send "foobar" end 

you see, there # in expect header, , ruby treats / do comment now, , fails. searched in documentation of ruby regexps, , seems # non-control char, , may not escaped because parser won't understand this.

how can realize code block working block, without # being interpreted comment indicator?

works me:

def expect(*patterns, &block)   p patterns end  expect /console#/ end 

output (1.8.7, 1.9.3, 2.0.0, jruby, rbx):

[/console#/] 

from editors, vim gets syntax highlighting right.
