Or easier, avoiding eval again:
u = s.scan( /[\w\s]+/ )

From: “Peña, Botp” [mailto:botp@delmonte-phil.com]and cast result as an array so that I can have some fun within Ruby.
I think you do not need “” replacement since you just need
an “array”.
Remember, it just “looks like”c:\family\ruby>ruby -w a1.rb
u is of class Array
0 ‘this’
1 ‘is a’
2 ‘test of wits’c:\family\ruby>cat a1.rb
s = “{‘this’,‘is a’,‘test of wits’}” # just a string
t = s.gsub(/[{}]/,‘’) # no more {}
u = t.split(‘,’).to_a # convert to array
puts “u is of class #{u.class}”
u.each_index {|i| puts “#{i} #{u[i]}”}I used each_index just in case you’ll doubt if it’s really an
array. note,
no eval there
