How can I make this match a directory given

currDir = ""
# 
# regex is from stack overflow question:
dirRegex = Regexp.new '^(?!.*[\\/]\.{2}[\\/])(?!\.{2}[\\/])[-\w.\\/]+$'
if ARGV.length == 1 && $1.to_s.match dirRegex
  currDir = $1
  puts $1
  puts "#{currDir}"
  puts ARGV.length
else
  currDir = "./"
  puts $1
  puts "#{currDir}"
  puts ARGV.length
end

When I try to have the above code match a directory such as home or ~/test/ it gives me an error.

./script.rb /home/local/NKU/dixonc3/test
./script.rb:9: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_then or ';' or '\n'
./script.rb:14: syntax error, unexpected keyword_else, expecting $end

Change:

if ARGV.length == 1 && $1.to_s.match dirRegex # line 5

to:

if ARGV.length == 1 && $1.to_s.match(dirRegex)
