Java split() => Ruby String.split:

“hello world”.split( " ")

returns [ “hello”, “world” ].

Java trim() => Ruby String.strip:

" hello world ".strip

returns “hello world”.

Java indexOf() => Ruby String.index

“hello world”.index( “w”)

returns 6.

The last one only works if you have ihelp installed. If not, install it
or do

“foo”.methods.sort

Reading the pickaxe and
$ ri String
would be a good idea.

One neat thing I onlz found a few month ago is this
irb(main):001:0> “my string with 28 characters”[/\d+/]
=> “28”
irb(main):002:0> s = “my string with 28 characters”
=> “my string with 28 characters”
irb(main):003:0> bschroed@black:~/svn$ irb1.8
irb(main):001:0> s = “my string with 28 characters”
=> “my string with 28 characters”
irb(main):002:0> s[/\d+/]
=> “28”
irb(main):003:0> s[/\d+/] = “twentyeight”
=> “twentyeight”
irb(main):004:0> s
=> “my string with twentyeight characters”
irb(main):005:0> s[/string (\w+) (\w+)/]
=> “string with twentyeight”
irb(main):006:0> s[/string (\w+) (\w+)/, 1]
=> “with”
irb(main):007:0> s[/string (\w+) (\w+)/, 2]
=> “twentyeight”

Especially line three is really cool.

cheers,

Brian
