How do I keep the delimiters when splitting a Ruby string?

Question

I have text like:

content = \"Do you like to code? How I love to code! I\'m always coding.\" 

I\'m trying to split it on either a ?

Answer 1

The most robust way to do this is with a Natural Language Processing library: Rails gem to break a paragraph into series of sentences

You can also split in groups:

@content.split(/(\?+)|(\.+)|(!+)/)

After splitting into groups, you can join the sentence and delimiter.

@content.split(/(\?+)|(\.+)|(!+)/).each_slice(2) {|slice| puts slice.join}
