Parsing String Using Functions and Regular Expressions

Asked by idadan in Ruby Scripting Language

Tags: , , ,

Basically I have one string that I need to break out into seperate parts.  I'm still not great with ruby functions so just need a little help.

I start with a string that looks like the following:
SEARCH_TERM(S) CITY,STATE

I need to break apart all these into three variables.
1. SEARCH_TERMS(S)
2. CITY
3. STATE

Note there is a space between last search item and the city.

Thanks for any help!Start Free Trial

search_parts = params[:search].split(',') # splits everything and the state
 
state = search_parts[1] #assigns state from prev. line
 
# need code here to break apart the rest.
