Hello, I'm wondering if there's a REPL-specific issue with the following docs.raku.org code? The code can be found at: https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Regex_interpolation
> my $string = 'Is this a regex or a string: 123\w+False$pattern1 ?'; Is this a regex or a string: 123\w+False$pattern1 ? > my $regex = /\w+/; /\w+/ > say $string.match: / $regex /; # EXPECTED OUTPUT: «｢Is｣» Regex object coerced to string (please use .gist or .raku to do that) in any metachar at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/nqp/lib/NQPP6QRegex.moarvm line 1 in any termseq at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/nqp/lib/NQPP6QRegex.moarvm line 1 in any quote:sym</ /> at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 in any quote at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 in any value:sym<quote> at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 in any value at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 in any term:sym<value> at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 in any term at /Users/homedir/rakudo/rakudo-2020.10/install/share/perl6/lib/Perl6/Grammar.moarvm line 1 ｢｣ > $*VM moar (2020.10) > I can get the .match code to work in the REPL by removing the forward slashes and/or using a smartmatch operator: > say $string ~~ $regex ; ｢Is｣ > say $string.match: $regex ; ｢Is｣ > say $string.match(:g, $regex) ; (｢Is｣ ｢this｣ ｢a｣ ｢regex｣ ｢or｣ ｢a｣ ｢string｣ ｢123｣ ｢w｣ ｢False｣ ｢pattern1｣) The problematic REPL line seems to work just fine in a standalone script, so any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Bill. W. Michels, Ph.D.
