String.match on variable holding a regex?

Hi, I'm having a little problem with matching a regex against a string.
I am storing data in mysql as a regex. At some point I need to match a
string to this regex. Here is what I am working with:


result = @dbconn.query("SELECT id, to_user_regex FROM next")
result.each do |row|
@to_user_regex = row[1]
@messages << row[0] if
@user.match(/@to_user_regex/)
end


So lets say @user is a string holding 'name1' and @to_user_regex is
'name1|name2'. I'm trying to match this. Does anyone have any ideas as
to why this wouldn't be matching?

Thanks!
