[wtr-general] Re: How to get numbers from String?

2010-02-19 Thread Prince3105
Hi Željko,

Thanks for your instant reply. I got some a handy solution by
googling.

str = Showing 1 to 10 of 72 Records

total_number_of_records = str.scan(/\d+/)[2].to_i


Again thanks,

Prince3105

  question. sorry for this.
  I want to get the value 72 from below string.

 Ruby questions are welcome here. Although, you could get better answers at
 ruby list.

 This is one way. Let me know if you do not understand it.

 $ irb Showing 1 to 10 of 72 Records.split( )

 = [Showing, 1, to, 10, of, 72, Records] Showing 1 to 10 of 
 72 Records.split( )[5]
 = 72
  Showing 1 to 10 of 72 Records.split( )[5].to_i

 = 72

2010-02-19 Thread Alan Baird
irb(main):070:0 a = 'Showing 1 to 10 of 72 Records'
= Showing 1 to 10 of 72 Records
irb(main):071:0 a[/(\d+)\sto\s(\d+)\sof\s(\d+)/, 3]
= 72

I couldn't resist sharing this.  No disrespect to the other posters but I 
learned this trick from James Gray recently and think it's a really good trick. 
 This works since you can use a regexp in brackets to index a string.

You could also use:

a[/(\d+)\sto\s(\d+)\sof\s(\d+)/, 1]
or
a[/(\d+)\sto\s(\d+)\sof\s(\d+)/, 2]

...to get the other numbers.

Alan
