其实有一种更短更容易理解的方法。

为什么不直接分拆加入呢?

"s t r i n g".split(" ").join()

s = "I have white space".delete(' ')

并模拟PHP的trim()函数:

s = "   I have leading and trailing white space   ".strip

现在说这个有点晚了，但是任何在谷歌上搜索这个页面的人都可能对这个版本感兴趣

如果你想清理一大块预先格式化的文本，用户可能以某种方式剪切和粘贴到你的应用程序，但保留单词间距，试试这个:

content = "      a big nasty          chunk of     something

that's been pasted                        from a webpage       or something        and looks 

like      this

"

content.gsub(/\s+/, " ").strip

#=> "a big nasty chunk of something that's been pasted from a webpage or something and looks like this"

你可以试试这个:

"ab c d efg hi ".split.map(&:strip)

为了得到这个:

["ab, "c", "d", "efg", "hi"]

或者如果你想要一个字符串，只需使用:

"ab c d efg hi ".split.join

你可以试试这个

"Some Special Text Values".gsub(/[[:space:]]+/, "")

使用:space:删除不间断的空格和常规空格。

"1232 23 2 23 232 232".delete(' ')
=> "123223223232232"

删除工作更快=)
