From: Jason Lillywhite Date: 2009-08-05T15:01:23+09:00 Subject: remove commas from string I have following string: s = "B747-400, 8,357 miles, 561 mph, 4 Pratt & Whitney PW 4056 turbofans, 56,000 lbs." I want to remove the comma only from the numbers (8,357 miles and 56,000 lbs) separating the thousands. I want the string to read as follows: "B747-400, 8357 miles, 561 mph, 4 Pratt & Whitney PW 4056 turbofans, 56000 lbs." I thought this following regex would do the trick because it successfully isolated the right commas in rubular.com s.gsub(/\d+(,)\d+/, "") It turns out that my regex removes the entire number, not just the comma. Am I wrong in saying that my regex searches for 1 or more numbers surrounding a comma and replaces just the comma with ""? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
