strange ... I'm getting crazy

[J. mp]

WTF:

str = "(e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed)"

emails_array = Array.new
emails = str.split(",")
emails.each do |single_str|

tmp = single_str[/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i]

if !tmp.nil?
emails_array << tmp

end
end



--- Expected result

emails_array => ["(e-mail address removed)","(e-mail address removed)","(e-mail address removed)"]


-----Actual result

emails_array => [[email protected]]

Can't understand

 

[Xavier Noria]

str = "(e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed)"

emails_array = Array.new
emails = str.split(",")
emails.each do |single_str|

tmp = single_str[/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i]

There's a space after each comma in str that the regexp does not
allow. Either remove them or split by /\s*,\s*/.

I get:

["(e-mail address removed)", " (e-mail address removed)", " (e-mail address removed)"]

"(e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed)".split(',')
=> ["(e-mail address removed)", " (e-mail address removed)", " (e-mail address removed)"]

Notice the white space at the start of all but the first email address.

With that whitespace there, the /^ in your regex won't be satisfied.

You probably want do split more like this:
"(e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed)".split(/\s*,\s*/)
=> ["(e-mail address removed)", "(e-mail address removed)", "(e-mail address removed)"]
