Also something to file away .. that kind of Array structure can be easily made into a Hash with Hash.[]

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :001 > Hash[[["websites", /website/i], ["emails", /email/i], ["phones", /phone|fax|cell/i]]]
 => {"websites"=>/website/i, "emails"=>/email/i, "phones"=>/phone|fax|cell/i}

AL: thanks! I knew the latter and I suppose it's almost identical to what I need to accomplish above. After converting to a hash then I can do #each and the block variables are the keys/values resp.
