implode function?

[Julian Leviston]

Is there are similar thing to the PHP version of implode in ruby?

I want this to happen...

z = %w[yeah, cool, mad, awesome, funky]

x = z.implode

x

'yeahcoolmadeawesomefunky'

x = z.implode(', ')

x

'yeah, cool, mad, awesome, funky'

I guess I'll just go write one.

Julian.

x = z.join
or simply
x = z.to_s

x = z.join(', ')

Allways assume ruby has nicer method/function names than PHP :-)

z = %w[yeah cool mad awesome funky]

Additionally to what the others have already said, you can use the
*-operator here:

x = z * ''

x = z * ', '

Shame there's no corresponding String#/

Ha, now there is:

class String; alias / split; end

'a,b,c' / ',' # => ['a', 'b', 'c']

This looks strange, though:

'a,b,c' / /,/ # => ['a', 'b', 'c']

class String
def /(val)
self.split(val)
end
end

See the other answers for the answer(s), but also, note that the
elements in that array are:

"yeah," "cool," "mad," "awesome," "funky"

i.e., the commas are part of the words (which I think isn't what you
wanted :-)
