I'm not sure what you mean by "new" table syntax. The syntax for
tables hasn't really changed since it was introduced.

> I wish to write something like this:
>
>  And we do have a forex rate for the following currency code and date
>        |code |    date    |  rate  |
>        |"USD"|"2009-04-01"|"0.8555"|
>        |"USD"|"2009-04-05"|"0.8444"|
>

Why are you quoting the cell values?

> Then /^we do have a forex (.+) for the following currency (.+) and
> (.+)$/ \
>  do |rate,code,date,table|
>  # table is a Cucumber::Ast::Table
>    puts rate
>    puts code
>    puts date
> end
>
> All I see from this is:
> ...
> rate
> code
> date

Which makes sense - these are the values of the 3 groups in your regexp.

>    And we do have a forex rate for the following currency code and date
> #
> features/app/models/currency_exchange_rates/step_definitions/currency_exchange_rates_steps.rb:8
>      | code  | date         | rate     |
>      | "USD" | "2009-04-01" | "0.8555" |
>      | "USD" | "2009-04-05" | "0.8444" |
>
> I only get one iteration of output and that only displays the regex
