## Description

This library borned from the early versions of string_utility_belt gem, this gem adds new common purpose methods to String class. E.g: split a string in words, replace a sequence of spaces per a unique space.

## Install

    gem install stringub_commons

## Examples

### Method: words

Split strings into an array of words.

    # Ex:

    "Ruby on Rails".words

    # >> ["Ruby", "on", "Rails"]

    "Serradura's house".words

    # >> ["Serradura's", "house"]

    # If you question yourself:

    # Whats the difference between the standard method String#split and words method?

    "a, b, c, d-e,@ f'g.**".split

    # >> ["a,", "b,", "c,", "d-e,@", "f'g.**"]

    "a, b, c, d-e,@ f'g.**".words

    # >> ["a", "b", "c", "d-e", "f'g"]

    # The answer is:

    # the words method just take words!   

### Method: unique_spaces

Removes a sequence of any kind of space characters per a unique whitespace.

    "       \n    abc   \n\n\r\t def \n\r  ghi \n".unique_spaces

    # >> " abc def ghi "

  

    #Tip:

    #If do you need remove trailing whitespaces. chain the String#strip method:

    "       \n    abc   \n\n\r\t def \n\r  ghi \n".unique_spaces.strip

    # >> "abc def ghi"

More examples can be founds in the tests.
