From: Nanyang Zhan Date: 2007-05-07T16:39:12+09:00 Subject: separate Chinese and English! with Ruby Don't get me wrong, because I just want to know how to separate English words from a string with ruby. There are strings (UTF-8 encoded) to record people's name, like: 摩根·弗里曼 Morgan Freeman 布鲁斯·威利斯 Bruce Willis 李小明 Lee xiao ming these strings containing Chinese name(without space between characters), separated by a space, following an English name or Frank Darabont Just an English name. Would you give me an idea how to separate these Chinese characters(if any)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
