Besides .gsub(’,’, ‘’).to_i, what’s a good way to un-delimit a big
number?
Ideally, it should be the reverse of Rails’s number_with_delimiter…

I would be quite happy with gsub, but if you want another shot on it
you might do
scan(/\d/).join
or
scan( /[+\d-]).join

str.delete “,”
If you like to check the syntax:
str.gsub /,(\d\d\d)\b/, “\1”

Txbut - imagine if number_with_delimiter magically imbued your string
with
locale awareness (like the C++ imbue do).
We got anything high-level like that? Some cultures reverse the roles of
commas
& dots. (I don’t rly need locales myself; I’m just annoying the envelop
here…)

I think the real issue here is getting those cultures to use commas and
dots correctly.

The near-term winnah! I didn’t know .delete() would do them all…
If you like to check the syntax:
It’s for Cucumber tables, so if it’s in-house, I don’t need to annoy my
clients.
If I could get them to author the tables anyway…
