strtok

  • We can tokenize a string in Ruby using the String#split method along with a regular expression.

    PHP

    $tok = strtok("This is\tan\nexample", " \n\t");
while ($tok !== false) {
    $tokens[] = $tok;
    $tok = strtok(" \n\t");
}
var_export($tokens);
// => array(0 => 'This', 1 => 'is', 2 => 'an', 3 => 'example')

    Ruby

    p "This is\tan\nexample".split(/[\n\t ]/)
# => ["This", "is", "an", "example"]
