Arrays
expect([1,2,3]).to eq [1,2,3] # ORDERED expect([1,2,3]).to match_array [3,2,1] # UNORDERED
Pattern Matching with REGEX
expect("foobar").to match /oba/
# Adding a variable's value to the pattern string
x=bar
expect("foobar").to match /foo#{Regexp.quote(x)}/
# Testing for " inside a string
x="{\"id\": 3}"
expect(x).to match /{\"id\": 3}/
# NOTE: This pattern will fail at http://rubular.com/. It requires /{\\\"id\\\":3}/
# Testing for / inside a string
x="http://www.example.com/message"
expect(x).to match /http:\/\/www.example.com\/message/
