Subject: Doubts on char patterns into String.each argument

Hello Folks with a question I would like someone can clarify me:

When I type the following code:

"Substring1 Substring2 Substring3".each( '\s*' ) { | substring |
   puts "[" + substring +"]"
   }

What I got is:

[Substring1 ]
[Substring2 ]
[Substring3]


However when I type:

"Substring1 Substring2 Substring3".each( '\s*' ) { | substring |
   puts "[" + substring +"]"
   }

What I got is:

[Substring1 Substring2 Substring3]


Why the difference in outputs?
I verified in the "Programming Ruby 2nd (Dave Thomas - 2005)"
and it says that the ' ' is just one of the White Characters
that '\s' may represent ( the other ones are TAB and NEW LINE)

Any help would be very appreciated.
