From: Sam Ginko Date: 2008-06-26T07:37:10+09:00 Subject: regular expression question I'm trying to replace all characters that are not letters numbers and white spaces in a string. I'm getting the characters eliminated in this case a comma but the white space is eliminated to. How do I get around that? string = 'john, tony' newTerms = string.gsub(/\W/, "") thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
