Ruby "include?" method not working - ruby

Question

I have a few commands from a Twitch chat, it works and it's awesome! People can type commands like !about and it's going to send a response. There's just one problem, if you go down to the thread and look under # // COMMANDS // COMMANDS // COMMANDS. There's a problem, there´s a few admin commands (look under # ADMIN COMMANDS // ADMIN COMMANDS). I have this: if msg.include?("!project") then msg.slice!("!project "), but it's not working like I want it to. I want to be able to type !project Then some substring here. But when a substring is attached it doesn't work, even though I can print msg and it clearly includes !project. Both the !disconnect and !project command work when it's only those commands by themselves. Meaning that something like !disconnect Hello World wouldn't work even though it clearly includes !disconnect.

The problem isn't with
if msg.include?("!project")
it's with the line before it:
admin_commands.include?(msg)
admin_commands is an array which contains the 2 strings ["!disconnect","!project"]. It does not, however, contain the string "!project Then some substring here", so you are never checking if msg.include?("!project"). You should be seeing your log messages about an unrecognized command, which means you aren't making it into your first if statement. What you'll want to be doing is something like:
if admin_commands.any? { |command| msg.include?(command) }
if msg.include?("!project")
# ...
