[Wtr-general] Regex string comparison

Hi there, I'm still a novice when it comes to using regular expressions and
am having a bit of difficulty figuring out the syntax on the following
problem.

Here's what I want to do:
- I'm trying to create a branch in the code if the PageHeadingLabel contains
one of two words.

Here's the line that I've tried:
   if t_ie.span(:id, /PageHeadingLabel/).text.include?( /Create|Update/ )

This doesn't work.  When I try it in IRB, I see the following message:
---
TypeError: can't convert Regexp into String
        from (irb):7:in `include?'
        from (irb):7
        from :0
---

Suggestions?  I really didn't want to use two comparisons, one for each
word.  There must be an efficient way to do this, yes?

Paul.
