如何检查MatchData对象中是否存在命名组？

Question

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :003 > result = "test string".match(/(?<mtch>test)/)
 => #<MatchData "test" mtch:"test"> 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :011 > result["mtch"]
 => "test" 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :012 > result["fail"]
IndexError: undefined group name reference: fail
    from (irb):12:in `[]'
    from (irb):12
    from /Users/jeremysmith/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'

没有用于检查命名组是否存在的MatchData函数.还有其他方法可以检查吗？

Answer 1

result.names.include? 'mtch'
# => true
result.names.include? 'fail'
# => false
