Extract values from a string in Ruby

Question

How to get a value from a string e.g

search_params[:price] = "1460,4500"

How can I get the first number into one variable and second into a different variable?

v1, v2 = search_params[:price].scan /\d+/ #=> ["1460", "4500"] is one way. — Cary Swoveland

Did you mean this??:

first_price, second_price = search_params[:price].split(',')

You can use split method

irb(main):002:0> price = "1460,4500"
=> "1460,4500"
irb(main):003:0> price.split(',')
=> ["1460", "4500"]
irb(main):004:0> a, b = price.split(',')
=> ["1460", "4500"]
irb(main):005:0> a
=> "1460"
irb(main):006:0> b
=> "4500"
