grep(p1) public

Returns an array of every element in enum for which Pattern === element. If the optional block is supplied, each matching element is passed to it, and the block’s result is stored in the output array.

   (1..100).grep 38..44   #=> [38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44]
   c = IO.constants
   c.grep(/SEEK/)         #=> ["SEEK_END", "SEEK_SET", "SEEK_CUR"]
   res = c.grep(/SEEK/) {|v| IO.const_get(v) }
   res                    #=> [2, 0, 1]
