Ruby的String的.scan()和.join()方法也可以帮助克服字符串中的空白。

扫描(\ w + /)。Join将删除所有空格并连接字符串

string = "White spaces in me".scan(/\w+/).join
=>"Whitespacesinme"

它还从字符串的左右部分删除空格。表示ltrim, rtrim和trim。以防万一有人有C, FoxPro或Visual Basic的背景，然后跳到Ruby。

2.1.6:002 > string = " White spaces in me ".scan(/\w+/).join = > " Whitespacesinme " 2.1.6:003 > string = " White spaces in me".scan(/\w+/).join = > " Whitespacesinme " 2.1.6:004 > string = "White spaces in me ".scan(/\w+/).join = > " Whitespacesinme " 2.1.6:005 >

我个人倾向于使用.tr方法

如:

string = "this is a string to smash together"

string.tr(' ', '') # => "thisisastringtosmashtogether"

感谢@FrankScmitt指出，要删除所有空白(不仅仅是空格)，你需要这样写:

string = "this is a string with tabs\t and a \nnewline"

string.tr(" \n\t", '') # => "thisisastringwithtabsandanewline"

"1232 23 2 23 232 232".delete(' ')
=> "123223223232232"

删除工作更快=)

现在说这个有点晚了，但是任何在谷歌上搜索这个页面的人都可能对这个版本感兴趣

如果你想清理一大块预先格式化的文本，用户可能以某种方式剪切和粘贴到你的应用程序，但保留单词间距，试试这个:

content = "      a big nasty          chunk of     something

that's been pasted                        from a webpage       or something        and looks 

like      this

"

content.gsub(/\s+/, " ").strip

#=> "a big nasty chunk of something that's been pasted from a webpage or something and looks like this"

s = "I have white space".delete(' ')

并模拟PHP的trim()函数:

s = "   I have leading and trailing white space   ".strip

我会用这样的方法:

my_string = "Foo bar\nbaz quux"

my_string.split.join
=> "Foobarbazquux"
