Question

How can I replace dashes with a spaces & underscores with a commas at the same time?

I was able to replace underscores with commas, but when I tried to reiterate through the array again it gave some funky results.

Controller

  def activity_by_all_city
      @cities = ['Abilene_Texas','Akron_Ohio','Albuquerque_New-Mexico','Baton-Rouge_Louisiana']
  end 

View

<% @cities.each do |city|%>
    <%= link_to city.gsub!(/_/, ', '), 'activities-'+city.parameterize %><br>
<% end %>

Answer 1

Try:

<%= link_to city.replace(city.gsub(/-/, ' ').gsub(/_/, ', ')), 'activities-'+city.parameterize %><br>

Gives:

<a href="activities-albuquerque-new-mexico">Albuquerque, New Mexico</a>
