I wan't to make a string regexp safe in Ruby.
I have:
comment = "Just a comment someone makes"
Word.find(:all).each do |word|
comment.gsub!(%r{#{word}\s*}," ")
end
This replaces all words I've stored in the model Word with an empty space. The problem is if word contains for instance a left parenthesis "(" it will fail. Is there a better way of doing this or at least make word regexp safe? Word may contain any type of character.
Thanks, Martin
you can use Regexp.escape
