你可以试试这个

"Some Special Text Values".gsub(/[[:space:]]+/, "")

使用:space:删除不间断的空格和常规空格。

"   clean up my edges    ".strip

返回

"clean up my edges"

如果你只想删除开头和结尾的空白(就像PHP的trim一样)，你可以使用.strip，但如果你想删除所有的空白，你可以使用.gsub(/\s+/， "")。

"asd sda sda sd".gsub(' ', '')
=> "asdsdasdasd"

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

并模拟PHP的trim()函数:

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

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"
