Subject: array.map! + delete_if possible ?

I have an array of strings that I need to modify. I either need to
replace the string or delete the entry altogether. The only way I have
been able to do this is :


arr.delete("")

(0..arr.size).each do |i|
  if arr[i].to_i == 1201
    arr[i]=arr[i].to_s[8..-1].gsub(/"[^"]*"/,'::').gsub(/".*/,"::")
  else
    arr[i-1] = arr[i-1] + arr[i].to_s[4..-1].to_s.gsub(/\s*/,"")
    arr[i]=nil
  end
end

arr.delete(nil)


Is there a better way ?


Also inside the else I get char 4->-1 of a string, but then need to
explicitly change it into a string for gsub to work. Otherwise it gives
me an undefined method 'gsub' for nilNilClass error.
