Ruby Language Strings Splitting a String
Example
String#split splits a String into an Array, based on a delimiter.
"alpha,beta".split(",")
# => ["alpha", "beta"]
An empty String results into an empty Array:
"".split(",")
# => []
A non-matching delimiter results in an Array containing a single item:
"alpha,beta".split(".")
# => ["alpha,beta"]
You can also split a string using regular expressions:
"alpha, beta,gamma".split(/, ?/)
# => ["alpha", "beta", "gamma"]
The delimiter is optional, by default a string is split on whitespace:
"alpha beta".split
# => ["alpha", "beta"]
