How to split a string which contains multiple forward slashes

Question

I have a string as given below,

./component/unit

and need to split to get result as component/unit which I will use this as key for inserting hash.

I tried with .split(/.\//).last but its giving result as unit only not getting component/unit.

Answer 1

I think, this should help you:

string = './component/unit'

string.split('./') 
#=> ["", "component/unit"]

string.split('./').last
#=> "component/unit"
