Ruby: Extracting Words From String
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I want get words from string.
For example:
str = "Mike's book.".
I wish I can get ["Mike's", "book"].
I know we can str.split(/\W+/), but it will return ["Mike", "s", "book"], that's not what I want.
Use scan() method in Ruby with character class regex including word character and single quote.
str.scan(/[\w']+/)

How do I find if a string starts with another string in Ruby?
(4 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
image_basename = 'fr-ca-test.png'
Langs = {'ca', 'fr-CA', 'en-CA'}
Langs.each do |locale_code|
return locale_code /(\b|\_|-)#{locale_code}(\b|\_|-)/i.match(image_basename)
end
end
When the filename contains fr-CA or en-CA. I would like to returns fr-CA not Ca.
How I can fix my regex?
I wouldn't use a regexp in this simple example. Using start_with? will very likely be faster and IMHO it is easier to read and to understand:
image_basename = 'fr-ca-test.png'
LANGUAGES = ['fr-CA', 'en-CA', 'ca']
LANGUAGES.find { |code| image_basename.start_with?(code.downcase) }
#=> "fr-CA"

Using Nokogiri to Split Content on BR tags
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am using Nokogiri to search for some information on a webpage. After I find it I get the following string:
<p></p>

It is all a single line. I would like to separate the String on the into a new line so I can get the single details from it. How do I go about it? I am new to Ruby and I have tried but somehow I cannot get the results I want.
Thank you very much
It's relatively simple, using the split method on the string. For example:
'this<br>that<br> the other'.split("<br>")
Will result in
["this", "that", " the other"]
you can just use the split method:
string.split('<br>')

How to format a number 1000 as "1 000"
(12 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I was working on a method to add commas to a number that is passed. I.E. separate_commas(1000) would return "1,000" or separate_commas(100000) would return "100,000"...etc.
Now that I've solved it, I'm wondering how I could refactor without regular expressions. Would appreciate suggestions, thank you in advance. Ruby 2.1.1p76
def separate_comma(x)
x=x.to_s
len=-4
until len.abs > x.length
x.insert(len, ',')
len-=4
end
return x
end
Not exactly pretty, but it is a little more ruby-esque
num.to_s.reverse
.split('').each_slice(3).to_a
.map{|num| num.reverse.join('')}.reverse.join(',')

How to convert character code to what I want?
I am positive this has to be a duplicate, but all search results were in other languages or were the reverse (character to code point).
e.g.
charCode = 96
string = # ... ?
You could do it with:
string = charCode.chr
The .chr method on Fixnum.
96.chr #=> "c"
