Unicode Whitespace Shenigans in Ruby

Posted by PeterCooper on November 26, 2012 — 1 comment
It seems that sometimes.. the split is not enough! (Yes, Bond theme - 100% cheese.) If you've got a string that just won't split, there might literally be more to it than meets the eye. I use this as a springboard to launch into some Ruby whitespace shenanigans! Enjoy.
