[ruby] Ruby array to string conversion

I have a ruby array like ['12','34','35','231'].

I want to convert it to a string like '12','34','35','231'.

How can I do that?

string_arr.map(&:inspect).join(',') # or other separator

array.map{ |i|  %Q('#{i}') }.join(',')

> a = ['12','34','35','231']
> a.map { |i| "'" + i.to_s + "'" }.join(",")
=> "'12','34','35','231'"

suppose your array :

arr=["1","2","3","4"]

Method to convert array to string:

Array_name.join(",")

Example:

arr.join(",")

Result:

"'1','2','3','4'"

You can use some functional programming approach, transforming data:

['12','34','35','231'].map{|i| "'#{i}'"}.join(",")

array.inspect.inspect.gsub(/\[|\]/, "") could do the trick

try this code ['12','34','35','231']*","

will give you result "12,34,35,231"

I hope this is the result you, let me know

> puts "'"+['12','34','35','231']*"','"+"'"
'12','34','35','231'

> puts ['12','34','35','231'].inspect[1...-1].gsub('"',"'")
'12', '34', '35', '231'

I find this way readable and rubyish:

add_quotes =- > x{"'#{x}'"}

p  ['12','34','35','231'].map(&add_quotes).join(',') => "'12','34','35','231'"

irb(main):027:0> puts ['12','34','35','231'].inspect.to_s[1..-2].gsub('"', "'")
'12', '34', '35', '231'
=> nil

And yet another variation

a = ['12','34','35','231']
a.to_s.gsub(/\"/, '\'').gsub(/[\[\]]/, '')

irb(main)> varA
=> {0=>["12", "34", "35", "231"]}
irb(main)> varA = Hash[*ex.collect{|a,b| [a,b.join(",")]}.flatten]
