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

并模拟PHP的trim()函数:

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

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

删除工作更快=)

user         system     total      real
gsub, s      0.180000   0.010000   0.190000 (0.193014)
gsub, s+     0.200000   0.000000   0.200000 (0.196408)
gsub, space  0.220000   0.000000   0.220000 (0.222711)
gsub, join   0.200000   0.000000   0.200000 (0.193478)
delete       0.040000   0.000000   0.040000 (0.045157)

分裂。Join将丢弃字符串中任何位置的所有空格。

"  a b  c    d     ".split.join
> "abcd"

它很容易输入和记忆，所以在控制台和快速破解上都很不错。在严肃的代码中可能不受欢迎，因为它掩盖了意图。

相关回答:

"   clean up my edges    ".strip

返回

"clean up my edges"

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

Ruby的.strip方法执行与trim()相当的PHP功能。

删除所有空白:

"  leading    trailing   ".squeeze(' ').strip
=> "leading trailing"

@塔斯让我意识到我原来的答案连续删除重复的字母-恶心!从那以后，我改用了压缩方法，如果使用Rails框架，这种方法对这种情况更聪明。

require 'active_support/all'
"  leading    trailing   ".squish
=> "leading trailing"

"  good    men   ".squish
=> "good men"
