basic Regex question

[Greg Hauptmann]

dumb question perhaps, but how do I do a Ruby based regex expression
that takes the following as input and produces the following as
output:

INPUT: "#{some_string}" # or perhaps if the # needs escaping this
should be "\#{some_string}"
OUTPUT: "some_string"

i.e. what do I put in: "#{some_string}".match("????")

thanks in advance

something fr,

re=3D/\#\{(.*?)\}/
#=3D> /\#\{(.*?)\}/

s=3D"\#{some_string}"
#=3D> "\#{some_string}"

s.match(re).captures
#=3D> ["some_string"]
