Hi all,
Don't bother uninstalling. It'll just come back in updates.mapple leaves /usr/local completely alone, so edit /etc/paths to have /usr/local/bin first. Then, install Xcode via the AppStore so you can compile ruby and gems with c extensions. Then install Mac homebrew and use that to install ruby 1.9. Rvm is nice in certain contexts but really isn't necessary and overly complicates things.

Remember that the parameter you're passing in is a string.
In string literals, backslashes that precede any non-special
characters (such as asterisk) are essentially ignored, so "/\*/" is
the same as "/*/" (i.e. three characters: slash, star, slash).
Regexp.new "/\*/" # => /\/*\//
Regexp.new "/*/" # => /\/*\//
That resulting Regexp pattern is an escaped forward-slash, a star, and
an escaped forward slash; so it will match zero or more
forward-slashes followed by another forward-slash. That's the same as
%r{/*/} or %r{/+}
Thus the numbers you get back are actually just the positions of every
sequence of slashes in the string. It doesn't think "/\" is a
substarter, just "/"
Putting a second backslash in the string literal means you have four
characters in your string: slash, (escaped) backslash, star, slash;
which interpreted as a Regexp means: a slash followed by an (escaped)
asterisk, followed by a slash.
You could use Regexp#quote to take away the special meaning of the
star in your string; e.g.
[line 20]
regex = Regexp.new( Regexp.quote regex_string )
and/or you could allow the regex_string parameter to be regexp object.
That way you could call, for example:
substarters = this_room_data.all_occurances "/*/" # no need to
escape regex characters
substarters = this_room_data.all_occurances %r{/\*/} # no need to
escape string characters
No double-escaping; twice as much win.
