How to split a string into only two parts, by the last occurrence of the split char?

Question

For example:

\"Angry Birds 2.4.1\".split(\" \", 2)
 => [\"Angry\", \"Birds 2.4.1\"] 

How can I split the string into: [\"Angry Bir

Answer 1

I hava a solution like this:

class String
  def split_by_last(char=" ")
    pos = self.rindex(char)
    pos != nil ? [self[0...pos], self[pos+1..-1]] : [self]
  end
end

"Angry Birds 2.4.1".split_by_last  #=> ["Angry Birds", "2.4.1"]
"test".split_by_last               #=> ["test"]
