I have a JSON string that looks like {\"heading\":\"Test\",\"id\":1} and I want to wipe the ID data from the string.
I’ve tried test.gsub(/\,\\"id\\"\:d+/, '') but that’s not working.
How best to achieve this?
Sergio’s JSON.parse is something you should consider. But baring that, those
\‘s you are seeing probably aren’t really part of the string. That’s just how irb is displaying it.So
test.gsub(/,"id":\d+/, '')should be what you want. (Also fixed a few other small bugs in the regex).
