Ruby multiple string replacement

Question

str = \"Hello☺ World☹\"

Expected output is:

\"Hello:) World:(\"

I can do this: str.gsub(\"☺\", \":)\").gsu

Answer 1

Late to the party but if you wanted to replace certain chars with one, you could use a regex

string_to_replace.gsub(/_|,| /, '-')

In this example, gsub is replacing underscores(_), commas (,) or ( ) with a dash (-)
