I have a string
@selected_related_model_id_assotype_and_name=params[:relatedidmodelasso]
This is of the form
3:43;SD,2:65;SD,3:50;Inc
How can i split this to get
=>[["3","43","SD"],["2","65","SD"],["3","50","Inc"]]

First split by the comma, then #map the result and split using a conditional:
"3:43;SD,2:65;SD,3:50;Inc".split(/,/).map { |i| i.split(/:|;/) }
=> [["3", "43", "SD"], ["2", "65", "SD"], ["3", "50", "Inc"]]

hi
its a simple question yet google wasnt of much help
string = a_b_c_d_e
search results mostly show how to split it as a b c d e
but how to split it as a_b and c_d_e ?

no, if you scan the thread, the op later wanted the first 2 elements be integers.

Your question is too arbitrary. What criteria are you hoping to split it by? Index? Content? Randomly? I can come up with many answers to your question, but that doesn't mean it is the right answer.
Have you looked directly at the documentation for String? Try typing `ri String` and then maybe `ri String#index` into your terminal.

Well, one obvious way is to split it into ["a","b","c","d","e"] as
google showed, select the bits you want, then join them back together
again. Look at Array#join.
["a","b"].join("_") # => "a_b"
Another way is to use a regular expression to match the patterns you're
looking for. e.g.
if string =~ /\A([^_]*_[^_]*)_(.*)\z/
str1, str2 = $1, $2
else
raise "Unexpected format"
end
There are many resources on ruby regular expressions you can google for.

Not so elegantly.
Map doesn't come in handy here because the string would get converted
to a 0. What you can do is hold the split inside a temporary variable
and construct another array, as such:
arr = "3:43;SD,2:65;SD,3:50;Inc".split(/,/).map do |i|
t = i.split(/:|;/)
t[0..1].map { |j| j.to_i } << t[2]
### If you're using Rails you can use Symbol#to_proc to simplify the code
# t[0..1].map(&:to_i) << t[2]
### or something very simple, if a tiny bit repetitive:
# [t[0].to_i, t[1].to_i, t[2]]
end
=> [[3, 43, "SD"], [2, 65, "SD"], [3, 50, "Inc"]]

Here what is the meaning of this
t[0..1].map(&:to_i) << t[2]
Could u please explain details what split and map does?I am beginner in

The code, for reference:
arr = "3:43;SD,2:65;SD,3:50;Inc".split(/,/).map do |i|
t = i.split(/:|;/)
t[0..1].map(&:to_i) << t[2]
end
First, what we're doing here is splitting the string into an array by
the commas. This gets us
=> ["3:43;SD", "2:65;SD", "3:50;Inc"]
Then we're iterating through the resulting array using #map. #map is
provided by Enumerable. It iterates through all the elements of a
collection and combines the results into a new array.
#map passes each element to a block, one at a time. So, the first
element that gets passsed to the block is the string "3:43;SD". What's
important about the block is that the last expression to be evaluated
gets returned, and #map will add the returned value onto the array
that it's building. Inside the block we can do whatever we need to to
build the returned value.
In this case, we want the returned value to be a second array with the
individual parts of the current string split up. If it didn't matter
whether or not the resulting values were strings or integers then we
could just call #split on the string and leave it at that, as
"3:43;SD".split(/:\;/)
returns
=> ["3", "43", "SD"]
which, as the last expression evaluated, would get returned by the
block and pushed onto the array being built by #map.
You can think of #map as a function that transforms a collection, item
by item, and gives you back a new collection of the same size with the
same transformation applied to each constituent element. In this case,
we're taking an array of strings, transforming each individual string
into its own array, and we end up with an array of arrays.
=> [["3", "43", "SD"], ["2", "65", "SD"], ["3", "50", "Inc"]]
Now, in this case all we've done is split a bunch of strings, so each
ultimate element of the array is still going to be a string, even when
they appear to be numbers and we want them to be integers. Ideally,
what we'd do is a nested #map that called #to_i on each element to
convert them to integers:
i.split(/:|;/).map { |j| j.to_i }
The problem is that we want the third element to remain a string.
Calling #to_i on "SD" will return
=> 0
Which brings us to
t[0..1].map(&:to_i) << t[2]
What this does is slice out the first two elements of the array that
the #split gave us. This results in an array. In this case t[0..1]
would give us
=> ["3", "43"]
Then we're mapping that to a new array by calling to_i on each element
=> [3, 43]
Finally, we're pushing the string that we want to keep ("SD") onto the end
[3, 43] << t[2]
=> [3, 43, "SD"]
As the last expression to be evaluated, that completed array is
returned to #map and gets pushed onto the final, resulting array.
Now, I kind of skipped over a bit of code.
t[0..1].map(&:to_i) << t[2]
Specifically, the "&:to_i" part. This is somewhat advanced, and I'd
suggest that you read up on blocks and Procs ASAP. This is a good
opportunity to do so. Such knowledge is a prerequisite to
understanding Symbol#to_proc. (Symbol#to_proc, btw, isn't part of Ruby
core, it's a feature of Rails, although not exclusively).
To put it in simple terms, prepending & to a symbol results in
#to_proc being called on that symbol. #to_proc returns a simple block
which accepts an object and calls the specified method. In this case,
.map(&:to_i)
is the equivalent of
.map { |i| i.to_i }
Again, it's very simple and neat and efficient if you understand how
all the pieces of Ruby link together to make it possible. Once you
read up on Procs and blocks it should make sense.
